Chapter 51 Fame (4)
When she heard that Li Jing wanted to praise King Qi, Song Qiqiu and others were moved and said to herself.
"My dear friends, I want to confer the title of King Qi as the crown prince. What do you think?"
As soon as Li Jing said this, the ministers who were unaware of it were shocked. Li Hongji clenched his fists and said nothing. If he objected, he would be disrespectful to his uncle, but the ministers who supported him must not remain unmoved.
Han Xizai, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, stood up and bowed: "Your Majesty must not. This is not in accordance with the etiquette and law, so it is difficult to convince the public!"
After Han Xizai finished speaking, Li Jingsui also stood up and said, "Your Majesty takes back his order. What kind of virtue is me? I dare not covet the Eastern Palace. Besides, doing this is unfair to Hongji, so I dare not accept it."
Li Jingsui and Han Xizai both felt that it was not possible. At this time, Feng Yansi stood up and said, "There is a saying in "The Book of Gongyang": 'Why is it called a prince? It is not to be with the father, the son, the brother and the brother are the words.'
The Shang Dynasty was able to pass on for eight hundred years because of this system that the sages now have to follow the ancient methods and be happy as ministers.
Besides, the crown prince’s statement is the family affairs of the priest. We foreign ministers should avoid suspicion and rely on the priest to decide!"
Feng Yansi said this matter as a royal family matter, blocking the ministers' mouths, and some ministers who wanted to express their opinions immediately became a teacher.
But there are still people who are not afraid of death. Xiao Yan, the doctor of the Ministry of Justice, is a square person, upright person, clear-cut person, honest and loyal to the court.
"Your Majesty, this is the so-called family affairs of Your Majesty, but it is related to the national destiny. Since ancient times, disputes have occurred frequently. It is not uncommon for disasters to arise in the Xiao Wall. In order not to undermine internal unity, please think twice!"
Xiao Yan's words were a bit too straightforward, and even suspected of being sowed by disagreement. Li Jingsui was shocked when he heard this and refused again.
But Li Jing had made up his mind. When Li Sheng passed away, he wanted the emperor to be in Li Jingsui, but Li Jingsui refused to accept it. He felt that he owed him something.
"I have made up my mind, so I don't need to say anything more. I will confer the title of King Li Jing of Qi as the crown prince and enter the Eastern Palace. I have to accept it!"
The emperor had a golden word and a jade word, and in front of so many ministers, Li Jing did not dare to contradict him directly, otherwise he would be disrespectful to the order.
"Your Majesty, I am really not interested in the position of the Eastern Palace. If your Majesty does not believe it, I will change my name and leave from today. Please think twice!"
"No need to say anything about the Crown Brother, I have issued an order. You can go back and prepare!"
After Li Jing finished speaking, he left the court. Many civil and military people from all over the court came to congratulate him. Li Jing then felt miserable. Li Hongji's face turned gloomy and left without saying a word.
There is no airtight wall in the world, and soon Guo Hao received two messages, neither of which are good things.
The first thing was that the Jin State was destroyed, the Khitans were the main force to enter Kaifeng, and the emperor Shi Chonggui and others were escorted northward, and another dynasty was lost in the Five Dynasties.
The second one is that Li Jingsui was named the crown prince, and the dispute over the crown prince began. Although Li Hongji did not make any moves now, the gods and the little ghosts suffered when they fought. He couldn't hide even if he wanted to, and someone came to the palace.
Guo Hao was enthroned as a Hanlin worshiper. He could not be even smaller than an official, but it was a great kindness to be an official without taking the exam.
The name "Hanlin" was already in the Han Dynasty. It originally refers to the literary forest, which was the gathering of literary and cultural relics. It began as an official and official signature in the Tang Dynasty. Its original nature was "where the world sees the people who are summoned by their artistic skills."
People of all kinds of literature, classics, monks and Taoists, calligraphy, painting, piano, chess, yin and yang, etc., have their expertise in waiting for the summoning of the monarch, and are called "Hanlin Attendant".
During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, scholars of literature were mostly selected, called "Hanlin Ends", which were used to draft edicts and discuss current affairs.
So when Guo Hao went to work, he found that there were all kinds of people here, which was a bit similar to the ancient practice of raising scholars, but the master was the court and the emperor.
"Boy Guo Hao, pay homage to all seniors."
On the first day of work, Guo Hao was not familiar with these people. He knew his weight, but he didn't know the other person's background, so it would be better to be modest.
The one who received him was a sorcerer, wearing a dress that said that he was not a Taoist robe or a Confucian uniform, and looked at Guo Hao carefully.
"The eyebrows are high and the feet are sharp, the forehead is high and the bones are astringent, and the ears are thick and drooping, which makes you look good!"
Guo Hao heard what he said, his feelings were about meeting him. He had no research on this, so he could only follow the other party.
"Thank you for your praise, I wonder what this adult is called?"
"I am Yuan Ping, the descendant of the Yin-Yang family. You are recommended by King Qi, go there to report it."
As he said that, he pointed to the left, and there were many scholars gathered there, probably all literati, but Guo Hao didn't want to go. Although he recited some books, his cultural level was really limited.
"So it's Lord Yuan. Why do I want to go there? Can't I be here?"
Yuan Ping was stunned when he heard this. He had already recognized what he said. He was recommended by the King of Qi. King of Qi came to get along with the literati, so he naturally divided them together.
But I know this kind of thing in my heart, and no one can tell it clearly. After all, the Hanlin Academy belongs to the court, not Li Jingsui, nor to Li Hongji.
"You can do it yourself. There are monks and Taoists here, and scholars who study scriptures. If you, a scholar, feel it is appropriate, you are here."
Guo Hao smiled and said, "Thank you, Lord Yuan. In fact, I haven't read a few books. I was lucky enough to get a name for myself and dare not regard myself as a scholar.
However, when it comes to mathematics, I have a lot of research, so I think it is more appropriate for me to stay here."
"Oh? The poem about you on the Lantern Festival has spread throughout Jiangning. If you say you don't have talent, I'm afraid no one will believe it?"
Yuan Ping mentioned the poem, and Guo Hao scratched his head and said, "If I say that the poem was not made by me, will Lord Yuan believe it?"
Yuan Ping sneered when he heard this and said, "I believe, why don't you believe it? If you want to be accused of deceiving the emperor, you can say that."
Guo Hao was shocked when he heard this and hurriedly said, "Just kidding, I made that poem, but I really haven't read a few books, but there are some poems."
Guo Hao ran the train with his mouth full of words. Yuan Ping had lost his patience. He waved his sleeves and returned to the house. Guo Hao followed him.
When he was talking to Yuan Ping, the scholars over there were also looking at him. They wanted to welcome him, but they didn't expect Guo Hao to go there.
"This Guo Hao is too ignorant of the times. He dares to stay in the east. Isn't he afraid that the King of Qi will blame him?"
"Brother Qian is honest. Your Highness, King Qi is now the Crown Prince, so he would not bother with a scholar. The Crown Prince enters the Eastern Palace and is also a good thing for us. We must do our best..."
When one person attains enlightenment, the change in Li Jingsui's identity has invisibly influenced many people.
Whether it was the minister who usually feasted with him or the scholars he had a good friend, even Guo Hao was attached to his glory and entered the Hanlin Academy in one fell swoop.
Being with a group of monks and Taoists is much more interesting than a literati.
Guo Hao walked in the room, and no one paid attention to him. He was not in a hurry to recognize him. He looked around in the crowd and finally stopped in front of a middle-aged man.
"Now, there are a total of goods that people buy eight, and the price is three cents; the price of people costs seven, and the price is less than four. Ask the number of people and what are the prices?"
"The answer is: Seven people, the price is five or three."
The man was studying this question and seemed to be stumped and didn't know how to calculate it.
Guo Hao was amused when he saw this. Isn’t this a binary equation? Chinese mathematics is still very advanced at this time, and even equations are available.
Seeing the man scratching his head, Guo Hao took the paper and pen directly, and under the man's surprised gaze, he picked up the pen and wrote.
"Suppose the number of people is A and the price of goods is B, then Eight A reduces three equals B, Seven A plus three equals B, and you can get the two, seven people, and the price of goods is 53."
Guo Hao handed the solution to the man. The man looked down and thought for a while. His eyes lit up. He looked up and looked up again at Guo Hao, and found that he was going to watch the monks and Taoists play chess.
"Hey, boy Guo, come here!"
Guo Hao turned around and pointed at himself and said, "Sir, are you calling me?"
"That's right, it's you!"
Guo Hao walked over and said, "Have you learned "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" before?"
Guo Hao shook his head: "No."
"Then how did you come up with this question? I thought about it for a day but didn't think of the method. Have you studied mathematics?"
Guo Hao nodded: "Learn a little."
"Then you look at this question again."
As he said that, he handed Guo Hao a question, which was: "Now, Tian Guang is fifteen steps, from (pronunciation zong) to 16 steps, ask how much is the field?"
Guo Hao read it and replied casually: "This is simpler. Find the area. Fifteen by sixteen, just one acre of land!"
