Princess and the General

Yufu asks this because she intuitively knows that Sang Yiguo's intentions are not simple.

Other countries have sent envoys and envoys, all trying to show their own national strength, but the Minister of the Left was extremely humble, describing his own country as a barren and barren land.

Is he too honest, or is the king of Sang Yiguo sent so many people to ambassador, but he chose a master and minister without self-esteem?

Obviously not.

Minister Zuo bowed respectfully: "His Majesty, our king said that learning the etiquette culture from mainland powers throughout the dynasties was the most important thing for our subjects. We would rather be short of clothes and food than live like a wild savage."

This is quite shocking.

I don't know if the left minister knows the words Sang Yiguo, which is a kind of contempt for them, and it contains the meaning of a wild savage.

It is rumored that when the Sang Yi people first arrived on this continent, they claimed to be from the place where the sun rose and transliterated Sang in their own language. People at the time saw that they were still wearing fur shoes and were scornful, so they called their country Sangyi.

Now the ambassador of Sang Yiguo came again, claiming to be a Sang Yiguo in the language of Kyushu mainland, and also said that he did not want to live like a wild savage, which is quite ironic.

Yufu nodded slightly, Tianyun broke out in time and said, "I am a big country with strong northern strength and strong national strength. Since the king of your country has such a generous gift, our Majesty will naturally return the same gift and will not make your country suffer."

Minister Zuo and others were flattered and thanked him, "Thank you Your Majesty."

There was a slight smile on Yufu's face without saying a word.

She still had doubts about the ambassadors of Sang Yi Kingdom, but the etiquette of the exchanges between the two countries should be so. When the small tribes in the extreme west and north of the Kyushu mainland came to worship in Beili, they still got a lot of rewards to return. .

Sang Yiguo's envoys came from afar, and naturally, they should be more generous.

Minister Zuo slowly raised his head, Zhao Yufu said: "I heard that there is a sentence in Beili called Chaowen Dao. It ’s a dead night, I do n’t know if it is?"

Yu Fu chuckled, "The envoy really didn't read my poem classics of Beili really well, yes, this sentence was said by Confucius first. Look at you, Sang Yiguo also has such spirit, in order to come Beili would rather come across the ocean and risk it. "

Minister Zuo smiled, and his beard moved. "The minister brought some difficult problems that can't be solved in the middle school. If you want to come to Beili to ask for talents in your country, please help His Majesty. As Confucius said, if you can smell it, you will die. It's OK. "

The people in Chaozhong listened to him for help, so they were arrogant and unafraid.

Due to the situation, Yu Fu couldn't refuse to ask the envoy of Sang Yiguo, and said, "Every envoy has any problems, you can talk about it. Everyone can discuss with each other, even if you can't find the answer, there is always some benefit."

She left alive in her words, unwilling to embarrass the scene.

Minister Zuo rejoiced: "The first question is this, please listen. A monk sits under a tree and sees a young man running past him, followed by a big man with a knife behind him. The big man asked the monk to see Where did the young man go, how should the monk answer? "

"The premise is that the monk does not slang, and the monk cannot lie. Moreover, the monk has a good virtue, and the monk cannot leak the young man's trace to the sword-holder."

I thought this was a human-like topic, and after hearing the premise of Minister Zuo, the ministers gradually realized that this was a logical question.

A monk cannot lie, and naturally cannot deceive the big man. But the monk has the virtue of being alive, let alone tell the true destiny of the young man.

It was neither to tell nor to tell, and the minister in the seat fell into silence.

They had previously underestimated Sang Yiguo's envoys. They did not expect them to be respectful, but the questions they asked were so sharp.

Minister Zuo was not in a hurry, waiting patiently for the answers of the courtiers, it seemed that he had long expected that no one could answer it.

It took him a while to say, "Your Majesty, adults, who knows who can help me out?"

Tian Yun took a subconscious look at Gu Shubai, who shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't think of a suitable answer.

It is absolutely impossible to lose the prestige of the big country in the face of the barbaric small country. He couldn't stop thinking about the strategy to release the siege in his mind.

"Minister Zuo, your aunt Qing, haven't you given the answer?"

what?

Minister Zuo frowned for the first time since entering the temple, and looked up in surprise, "Your Majesty, when did the adults give the minister an answer?"

Yu Fu smiled slightly. "The grandmother Ai Qing was just silent. Isn't silence the best answer for a monk? Since neither answer is correct, it is better not to answer."

This answer is unexpected, but the more you think about it, the more it makes sense.

In this way, it does not violate the credo of the Buddhists, nor does it make the Han chase the young man worse. There is no more reasonable answer than this.

Minister Zuo refused to let it go easily, "But if the monk didn't say a word, so that the sword-holder had found the young man's trail and killed him, wouldn't there be a sin of the monk's helplessness?

"Minister Zuo's remarks."

Yufu smiled, like Guanyin on the altar, "The monk saw only the big man chasing a young man with a knife. Who knows whether the young man was a criminal, and whether the big man was a local gang hunting prisoners? If so, a high monk Wouldn't it be a good intention to save the young man by saying nothing? "

The crowd nodded when they heard what they said, which made sense.

Earlier listening to the description of Minister Zuo, the people subconsciously felt that the young man was an innocent person, and the Dahan holding a knife was a vicious person, but now they are aware of their limitations.

Minister Zuo asked, "The Buddha said that he would put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha. Even if the young man commits crimes, he might as well give him a chance to become a Buddha, right?"

Gu Shubai stood out and laughed: "The Minister Zuo's statement is becoming more and more inappropriate. Although the Buddhists have good virtues, they also distinguish between right and wrong, and never enemies with the court. The court has the court's rules. If it is a chaser to hunt down fugitives, the monk will How can a lie stop it? "

Minister Zuo did not dare to compete when he referred to the court regulations, lest he be questioned for their sangyi state's indifference to Beili.

He exclaimed: "But what exactly the young man and the big man are is still unclear. How can it be determined that it must be a prisoner and a servant? If it is an innocent poor young man and a vicious bandit, it is unknown!"

"That's the truth."

Yufu said: "Since I don't know what their identity is and why they are chasing them, why should they be involved as monks? There is a saying in the sutra that knowing good results in good results and evil causes bad results. The traitor's section has its own sanctions, and if it is innocent, it will not be harmed. Everything has its own cause and effect, and there is no need to interfere. "

She always loves to read books. Although she is not polite to the Buddha, she has also read several Buddhist sutras, and now she suddenly frightened Minister Chan.

A smile appeared on Tianyun's broken face, and Zhang Jiuyin whispered beside him: "The Buddhism of Sang Yi Kingdom was also learned from Beili, and the knowledgeable people like His Majesty talked about Buddhist cause and effect. Want to challenge Master? "

"Taipao said even more, you see, Minister Zuo's face is gray."

Zhang Jiuyi looked at the Minister Zuo, who was standing in the hall. The envoys behind him whispered to each other. Although he couldn't understand what they were talking about, he shook his head and sighed enough to see the defeat.

Minister Zuo stood up and paid homage, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for helping me solve a hundred-year problem for Sang Yiguo!"

"Just small."

Yu Fu smiled slightly, the king's atmosphere was full.

Minister Zuo said: "Second question, please give your enlightenment to your enlightenment. The title is this. Today there is a rooster worth five dollars; a hen worth three dollars; three chicks worth one dollar. Use one hundred dollars Buy a hundred chickens and ask how many cocks, hens, and chicks? "

After the question was asked, some ministers couldn't help but said, "What kind of problem is this? Even if you can't figure it out, substituting the numbers one by one, the number can always be released. Is it worth getting up to ask His Majesty and the ministers?"

This is not without reason.

Minister Zuo turned to the opening minister, respectfully said: "This adult said that, in fact, we have an answer to this question. But the fastest person in Sang Yiguo to calculate this question also needs a quarter of an hour. Xiaguan wants to see the expensive The state has no one who can count faster. "

Yu Tianyun snorted softly, "Did the Minister Zuo come to our country to study, or to test His Majesty and the Minister of the Manchu Dynasty? Since it is a question already answered, why ask more?"

Minister Zuo turned to him with a smile, "Naturally, I came to study. How dare you test your Majesty and your adults? But if your Majesty and yours can be counted faster, there must be a more concise method. Xiaguan wants to learn this method in the future. The level of arithmetic in the middle school is also improving. "

That's a good reason.

Everyone was speechless for a moment, thinking of the question he had just raised.

The most talented people in Sang Yiguo figured it out in a quarter of an hour, then the time they calculated must be less than a quarter of an hour.

Fortunately, Wen Chen has a wattpad and a pen in his hand. He can perform calculations while standing in the palace. The generals do not have tools to perform calculations. They are not good at calculations either.

Gu Shubai looked up, and Yu Fu seemed to be thinking about this with her hand on her cheek. The royal case in front of her had a pen and paper, but she had no use.

Gu Shubai smiled and said, "Four roosters, eighteen hens, and seventy-eight chickens. Minister Zuo, am I right?"

This is less than a tea time!

The ministers calculated according to Shu Bai ’s answer, "One **** is five dollars, and four are twenty dollars. A hen is three dollars, and eighteen are fifty-four dollars. Three chickens are one, seven Eighteen is twenty-six money. Doesn't that add up to one hundred money! "

"General Gu is so capable and capable, admire it!"

"Yeah, Xiaguan hasn't figured out a shadow yet, the general has figured out the correct answer!"

The ministers couldn't help but admire them, Yufu looked funny, and said that who wrote a few days ago to punish Gu Shubai for raising a young lady outside, the minister's wind became really fast.

I'm afraid Gu Shubai did useless work.

His self-destruction reputation is useless at all. As long as he is still alive, his talents will always make everyone admire him and support him.

Among the laughs of all the ministers, only Tian Yun frowned slightly, and her words stopped.

However, Minister Zuo said nothing with a smile, and listened to the ministers with a humble appearance.

Yufu looked at Minister Zuo, and looked at Tianyun Po, "The teacher may wish to say something straight, why not be bored?"

The eyes of all the officials immediately turned to Tian Yunbo. Tian Yunbo hesitated for a moment, and finally stood up. "The minister also calculated the answer, but it was not the same as General Gu's, but hesitated."

Yufu didn't seem surprised at all, just raised his hand and said, "Tai Shi, but it doesn't matter."

Tian Yun broke the path: "The minister calculated that there are ** males, 11 hens, and 81 chickens."

Zhang Jiuyi said: "The public money is only forty dollars, the hen eleven is only thirty-three money, and the chicken eighty-one is only twenty-seven money. This adds up to exactly one hundred money!"

One question actually had two completely different answers. After the officials calculated that Tian Yun's answer was indeed correct, he could not help looking at the Minister Zuo in the temple.

"How come there are two answers to this question, it seems that both answers are correct!"

Minister Zuo's smile was no accident. When he wanted to speak, Yufu said, "In fact, these two answers are correct. The correct answer to this question is far more than two. 还有 Here is another answer. Minister Zuo can listen. "

Still have answers?

The ministers couldn't help but be surprised, and Minister Zuo looked up in surprise.

Yufu said: "The answer for 朕 is twelve cocks, four hens, and eighty-four chickens."

Everyone heard what they said, and the sum of these numbers is exactly the price of one hundred dollars. It seems that these three answers are indeed correct.

Minister Zuo finally showed his respectful expression, "Beilidi has a lot of talents, and there are many talents in North Korea. I admire them! As His Majesty said, all three answers are correct. This question has never been answered in our country. There are three answers, even if one of them takes a long time. General Gu can quickly calculate the answer without pen and paper, and the calculation speed of Tiantai Division is also very fast. The most admired by the minister, Your Majesty! "

"Your Majesty can still think about the third answer without using pen and paper, on the premise that he has already got two answers. How many people can do such a good answer? You can see that your mind is agile, non- Everyone knows that Chen Gan worships the wind! "

Several difficult issues raised by the envoy of Sang Yi on the court were finally resolved.

Not only did Beili safeguard the dignity of the great country, but also made Sang Yi's envoys very satisfied, and expressed their dedication to their trip to study.

The guests and the hosts were happy and happy.

Yufumingren took Sang Yi and his envoys to tour Beijing, and arranged a few places such as Taixue and Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, so that they could read the books at will, and the Confucian masters explained it.

As for the government-run textile workshops, porcelain workshops, and carpentry workshops, Minister Zuo and others were also very interested, and Yufu naturally allowed them to watch and learn everywhere.

"It's time for you to rest assured that these ambassadors of Sang Yiguo gave blood to Beijing for gifts. It seems that they really came to study. I heard that their mission was so huge because it brought all aspects of the middle school. Craftsmen are here to learn more advanced technology. "

After Chen Jingxing repaid the recent whereabouts of Sang Yi's envoys by 1510, Gu Shubai said.

Yufu nodded slightly. "I thought too much before. It may be because Sang Yiguo is a distant foreign country. Their shape, appearance, and dress are not too different from ours. They always look weird and inevitably call me. Uncomfortable in my heart. Apart from seeing them asking the questions on the first day, they are learning their skills every day, and it seems that they have no other thoughts. "

Gu Shubai smiled: "Although learning is a good thing, isn't Beili such a country that stands still and does not have a generosity. But some things are the most important of the country, and they can't be learned. For example"

"artillery?"

Gu Shubai nodded, Yufu thoughtfully, "You're right. Once a weapon such as an artillery is extremely lethal, once it is learned to use it in a bad move, the consequences are unthinkable. The Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Defense They all need to be told that some of Beili's classified weapons should not be allowed to consult and study at will. "

Speaking of the Ministry of Industry, Yufu said: "Don't the book of the Ministry of Industry meant to learn the ships of the Sang Yi Kingdom? It is better to discuss with Minister Zuo and let the Ministry of Industry send people to study on the ship. If you can get more detailed drawings, I would like to come. Easier to learn. What do you think? "

Gu Shubai frowned, seeming to have doubts about this.
