Li Shishi spoke, and everyone stopped arguing. However, Zhou Bangyan and others still had angry expressions on their faces. They were obviously very unconvinced by Wu Dong's words, and believed that Wu Dong violated the principles and was treasonous.
Wu Dong looked down upon these people. They were just a bunch of boring literati who were of no use to the country. Apart from reciting poems and writing poems, singing about the wind and the moon, what else did they have?
When the Liao people, Jin people or Mongols came over, these people fled one after another. After they fled to a safe place, they immediately "outside the mountains, the green mountains and the outside buildings. When the singing and dancing in the West Lake stopped, the warm wind made the tourists drunk, making Hangzhou look like
Bianzhou". Those who cannot escape surrender to the foreigners and become their lackeys. They are not as good as those ordinary people who dare to fight.
At this time, the maid opened her mouth and said, "Second question, what kind of food does someone treat you to and you have to pay for it yourself?"
When this question was asked, the young men in the building were stunned again.
The previous question was too easy, but this question is too difficult.
The young men couldn't help but frown in thought, and some began to scratch their heads and cheeks, with anxious looks on their faces.
You know, in order to see Master Li, each of these people spent 10 taels of silver. These 10 taels of silver are a lot of money for many young men. They don't want to spend this money in vain, they want to truly
A glimpse of beauty.
Zhou Bangyan was also frowning and thinking at this moment. He thought about many answers, but he felt that they were a bit unreliable. How could there be a reason why he had to pay for someone else's treat? Could it be that someone else forgot to bring money? Or maybe it was someone else who asked for a treat.
Actually killing people?
At this moment, Wu Dong burst out laughing in his heart, thinking that the Song Dynasty had unexpected tricks.
Wu Dong was not polite at that moment, stood up and said: "It's simple, you have to go to court... If someone invites you to go to court, you have to pay if you lose."
After Wu Dong finished speaking, the young men in the building showed expressions of sudden realization, and some were filled with regret, as they did not expect that such a "simple" question could not be answered.
The maid also showed a surprised look and said: "This strong man is so smart, he is just getting involved in a lawsuit... Strong man, only you can answer this question. If you can answer the third question below, you can see
I’m a young lady.”
Wu Dong said: "I wonder what the third question is?"
The maid smiled and said: "The third question is, if you ask a question, my young lady cannot answer it."
"Ah!" Wu Dong was stunned, and the young men in the building were also stunned. Lin Chong and Lady Lin were also a little dazed, thinking that Master Li was really too tricky.
Those young masters all looked at Wu Dong, hoping that Wu Dong would make a fool of himself. It would be best if Master Li could answer Wu Dong's questions quickly, so that they would still have a chance to see Master Li.
Wu Dong pondered for a moment and said: "Okay, let me ask Miss Li a question - what is the most difficult problem in the world?"
Wu Dong's question was "What is the most difficult problem in the world?" At that moment, the maid went to find the young lady, and the young men in the building started discussing it.
"What is the most difficult problem? Is it how to govern the country?" asked a young man.
"Could it be how many stars are there in the sky? How many hairs are there on a human head?"
"Could it be how to become an immortal and enlighten the Tao?"
...The young masters discussed it one after another, but no one could determine what the "most difficult problem" was.
This time, even Master Li was really stumped. After a full quarter of an hour, the maid came out and said: "There is no answer to this question. My lady can't answer it. Hero, you can come up now."
"
****
In the eyes of everyone with envy and jealousy, Wu Dong headed upstairs, with Lin Chong and Lady Lin following behind him.
Zhou Bangyan was the most angry. Firstly, he was angry that he had lost to a martial artist. Secondly, he was angry that the questions asked by Master Li were too tricky and were simply nonsense.
At that moment, Zhou Bangyan was no longer interested in Master Li. He stood up and said, "Master Li is nothing more than that. He has a false reputation. I'm leaving."
After Zhou Bangyan left, the other young masters sighed for a while and left one after another, not to mention this.
Wu Dong, Lin Chong, and Mrs. Lin had already reached the second floor, but they were stopped by the maid, saying: "My young lady only saw the strong man, and the others were not allowed to go in."
Wu Dong frowned and said: "They are all my followers. They just want to see the Li family's style. They have no other purpose."
The maid wanted to say something more, but then Master Li's voice came: "Please come in."
So, Wu Dong, Lin Chong, and Mrs. Lin entered Master Li's room together and looked at the place curiously.
The layout of the room is very elegant, without much decoration. In the middle of the room is a long table, with a piano and a pot of flowers placed on the long table. Behind the piano is the famous Master Li.
Not to mention the heavenly beauty of Teacher Li, what is even more surprising is that she exudes a gentle and graceful aura, which is very touching.
A long skirt, like a peony among thousands of flowers, gives people a feeling of being descended from heaven.
No wonder Li Shishi has been famous throughout the ages. With such appearance and temperament, no one can match her in modern society. She doesn't even have to do anything, just sit there and she can attract everyone's attention.
"I've met Miss Shishi." Wu Dong saluted and said.
"You three, please sit down. A strong man has quick thinking and unique insights. You still don't know Gao's surname?" Master Li said.
Seeing that Wu Dong was so tall and handsome, Li Shishi's eyes were full of brilliance. She had been in the brothel for many years, and this was the first time she saw such a handsome man like Wu Dong.
"Qinghe Wudong." Wu Dong said.
As for Lin Chong and Lady Lin, Liu Ji will not introduce them. One of them is a fugitive and the other is the target of the Taiwei Mansion's pursuit. Naturally, it is inconvenient to introduce them to Li Shishi.
"It turns out you are a strong warrior. I wonder what the answer is to the last question?" Master Li said.
Of course, Wu Dong could not answer this question in a sophistry way, saying "this is the most difficult question". Such words would only make Li Shishi look down upon.
At that moment, Wu Dong said: "I don't have an answer to this question. Because everyone thinks differently, the most difficult questions in everyone's mind are also different. This is one of them. Second, society continues to develop. Now it seems that
The most difficult problem may not be a problem in the future."
Li Shishi thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "That's true. You are a talented young master, and I have learned from you."
Lin Chong and Mrs. Lin have been thinking about the answer to this question. When they heard Wu Dong's answer, they were constantly admiring in their hearts. Although Wu Dong said that he didn't know the answer, Wu Dong's answer was full of worldly philosophy. Obviously
He has his own unique insights into human nature and the world.
Of course, Wu Dong's answer would be nothing in modern times, but in ancient times with strict etiquette and rigid thinking, this was very valuable.
Master Li was silent for a moment and said: "It is fate that I meet you three. I composed a piece of music a few days ago and played it for you three."
At that moment, Master Li began to play the long qin.
The sound of the piano is melodious, sometimes impassioned, sometimes twisting and turning, heartbreaking, and finally desolate, giving people a feeling of a heroic end.
After Master Li finished playing, her music seemed to be still echoing in the room.
****
After a long time, Wu Dong cheered: "Young lady plays so well. Today I finally understand what it means to play around for three days."
Wu Dong's words were definitely not a deliberate compliment, but a sincere compliment.
The music is really nice to play. I have listened to a lot of music after coming to the Song Dynasty for so many years, but the others are not worthy of carrying Li Shishi's shoes.
Li Shishi's face turned slightly red. There were usually many people praising her, but none of them felt as red as today. She didn't know what was wrong with her.
At this time, Mrs. Lin suddenly said: "This song is impassioned at first, as if it is telling the story of a hero, and then it is deeply affectionate, twisting and turning, just like a lover breaking up. I suddenly thought of two people."
Mrs. Lin's voice was also very delicate, and her words immediately revealed the woman's identity. She felt something was wrong only after she said it, and secretly regretted it.
However, Master Li obviously didn't take it seriously. He was just a little surprised and said, "I wonder who my sister is thinking of?"
Mrs. Lin said: "Xiang Yu and Yu Ji, this song should be about the story of Farewell My Concubine."
Master Li suddenly became happy. It seemed that he had met a close friend. He immediately said: "Yes, the name of my song is called Farewell My Concubine. It seems that my sister also knows the music very well?"
Mrs. Lin was born into an official family, so she was naturally good at music. At that moment, the two of them started talking and laughing, and they were having a great time talking.
****
Madam Lin said: "That Xiang Yu was a hero of his generation, but it's a pity that he died so miserably."
Li Shishi nodded and said: "Yes, Xiang Yu is a real hero, and Liu Bang, according to historical records, is just a ruffian and a lecher, but he actually conquered the world. It makes people angry just thinking about it."
The two of them were talking about Qule before, but Wu Dong and Lin Chong couldn't get in the middle of the conversation. Now they were talking about Xiang Yu and Liu Bang's deeds, which both of them were familiar with.
Lin Chong gave up and thought that the two women were right. Xiang Yu has been said to be a hero since ancient times, while Liu Bang was indeed a ruffian.
Wu Dong disagreed with their words. He had done some research on Liu Bang and Xiang Yu in modern times, and he said: "This is wrong. Xiang Yu is just an ordinary man. How can he be compared with Liu Bang? Liu Bang is the one."
A true hero."
As soon as these words came out, the room immediately fell silent. Master Li and Madam Lin stopped talking. Master Li looked at Wu Dong and said angrily: "Master Wu, you must give a reason today, otherwise I will rush
You went out."
Wu Dong smiled and ignored her rudeness and said: "Of course I have a reason. I said Xiang Yu is just a common man. That's because apart from his strong martial arts and tall stature, he has no merits and a small spirit.
You are not made to be an emperor."
Master Li was dissatisfied and said, "Just tell me."
Wu Dong nodded and said: "Let me talk about Liu Bang first. Liu Bang sent people to attack cities and territories. As soon as the city was captured, he would immediately grant it to that person. If he got the money, he would immediately distribute it to his subordinates. During the battle between Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, Liu Bang granted seven kings with different surnames.
, and there are countless titles. But what about Xiang Yu? Winning the battle is not considered the credit of others, and occupying the city cannot give him any benefits. He should have been granted the title of land, but he was pinched in his hand by the seal and touched it here and there.
Do you think he is stingy and outrageous if he is reluctant to give to others until the edges are smoothed away?"
The above words are actually what Han Xin said to Liu Bang when he took refuge with Liu Bang. They are all recorded in history and there will be no mistakes.
Li Shishi was startled and said: "Just these can't explain anything. Maybe King Xiang wants to wait until he conquers the world before dividing the ministers among them."
Wu Dong smiled and said: "I will continue. After Xianyang was conquered, Xiang Yu left the ready-made emperor alone and did not live in it. He just burned, killed and looted, and finally took a lot of gold and silver.
After loading the treasures and beauties into the car, he actually returned to Pengcheng and continued to be his overlord of Western Chu. Some people advised Xiang Yu, saying that Guanzhong's terrain was dangerous and the land was fertile. If he established his capital here, he could establish his hegemony. Who knew that Xiang Yu actually said
"If you don't return to your hometown when you are rich, wouldn't it be like walking at night in splendid clothes?" So some people ridiculed him for "walking like a monkey and wearing a crown". You said that such a person, so angry that he conquered Xianyang, just wanted to take the treasure and the beautiful woman back to his hometown.
Show off, is this a hero?"
Master Li was speechless at this moment, and had to admit in his heart that what Wu Dong said made sense.
Wu Dong said again: "Let me tell you again. After Xiang Yu became the overlord of Western Chu, the world was undecided and all the princes refused to obey him. At this time, he actually killed King Chu Huai, the nominal leader of the world. Just imagine that Chu Huai
The king is just a child, but a puppet in Xiang Yu's hands. Xiang Yu asked him to go east, but he would never dare to go west. He was afraid that someone else would seize power and would kill such a puppet. What kind of measure is this? Compared with that of the past
Cao Cao is far inferior. Everyone in Cao Cao knows how to use the emperor to control the princes. Was Cao Cao ever afraid that Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty would take away his power?"
As soon as Wu Dong finished speaking this time, Lin Chong cheered and said: "Brother, you are right. That's the truth. Xiang Yu really has no measure. He is a chicken."
Wu Dong nodded and said: "Also, Fan Zeng was originally Xiang Yu's number one adviser. He made suggestions for Xiang Yu and played a very important role for Xiang Yu. As a result, when Xiang Yu sent people to see Liu Bang, Liu Bang entertained him warmly at first.
, and deliberately pretended to be hasty and said, "We thought it was Fan Zeng's envoy, but it turned out to be King Xiang's envoy." So he canceled the banquet and entertained Xiang Yu with simple meals. Xiang Yu actually believed in such a childish trick, and the envoy went back to talk to him.
, Xiang Yu began to be suspicious of Fan Zeng, worried about Fan Zeng, and was afraid that Fan Zeng would seize power. Fan Zeng was so angry that he said at that time, "The world is settled, and the king will take care of it." Then he walked away... So I said Xiang Yu is stingy again.
He was unwilling to reward his subordinates, and he was jealous of talents and could not tolerate others. Originally, he was a famous general of Chu State and had a noble status, so many people took refuge in him, including Fan Zeng, Han Xin, Chen Ping and other famous figures, but in the end,
Those people left him one after another, and he truly became a loner and lost his country. Do you think he can be considered a hero?"
Li Shishi was a little convinced now. After thinking about it carefully, everything Wu Dong said made sense. Xiang Yu was indeed too narrow-minded and unworthy of the title of "hero". However, she was still unconvinced and said: "How can Liu Bang be called a hero?"
Being a hero? You have to explain this to me."
