Chapter 969 A Different Child
Fang Xuanling thought for a while and said, "There are two hundred in four thousand."

After speaking the answer, Fang Xuanling looked at the expressions of the three children and hesitated for a while, then asked: "Is that right?"

Di Renjie smiled awkwardly.

Daniel said: "Mr. Fang, this is not the answer."

Fang Xuanling froze on the spot, watching the three children go away, he didn't know what to say for a while, thinking in his heart, isn't it four thousand and two hundred?
Walking while thinking, Fang Xuanling came to the door of Li Zheng's house.

I saw Li Zheng humming a strange tune playing chess with Princess Jinyang.

Fang Xuanling saluted Princess Jinyang first, and then said to Li Zheng, "I've already met them."

Li Zheng kept his eyes on the chessboard and said, "Have they agreed to be officials?"

Fang Xuanling heaved a long sigh, "They refused, the result must be as you expected."

Li Zheng said: "The skills they learned by themselves are not suitable for being an official."

Glancing at Fang Xuanling's expression, Li Zheng said again: "How should I put it... In other words, it's not professional."

"Professional is wrong?" This sentence made Fang Xuanling a little confused, professional?Wrong?After thinking about it, he seemed to understand something.

After thinking for a while, Fang Xuanling said again: "The three boys asked a question besides not participating in the imperial examination."

Li Zheng drank hot water, put the cannon on the opposite side and said, "General!"

Xiao Si stared at the chessboard and thought nervously.

Seeing Li Zheng playing chess so engrossed, Fang Xuanling said, "Are you listening to the old man?"

"Listen, listen." Li Zheng kept nodding his head and said, "They asked another question."

Fang Xuanling said: "An ant has seven legs, how many legs are six hundred ants, the old man answered four thousand and two hundred, but he said that the old man was wrong."

Xiao Sizi looked at the chessboard and said, "The answer is indeed wrong."

Fang Xuanling looked at Princess Jinyang in surprise and said: "I have also read the brain teasers compiled by Jingyang, and there is no such topic."

Xiao Sizi looked at the chessboard in front of him and moved the general one step.

Li Zheng put the car on the general's head and said, "The general is dead."

Xiao Sizi looked at the chessboard for a long time, confirmed for a while that he was indeed checkmate and said with a pout, "Start again!"

Fang Xuanling, who was standing aside, said in a low voice, "Li Zheng, what is the answer?"

Xiao Si rearranged the chessboard and said, "Uncle Fang, the answer is really not four thousand and two hundred."

Fang Xuanling asked anxiously, "What exactly is it?"

The little sizi placed the chess pieces and said, "An ant has seven legs, how many legs do six hundred ants have? The point of this question is that an ant has seven legs, not all ants have seven legs."

"Huh?" Fang Xuanling stopped stroking his beard, and immediately stood in place like a lightning strike.

Xiao Si smiled and said, "So Uncle Fang's answer is wrong."

Fang Xuanling smiled in relief, "So that's the case, these three brats are really strange."

Xiao Si said again: "The important thing is the difference between one and six hundred."

Fang Xuanling nodded and said, "The old man has been taught."

After tidying up the chessboard, Xiao Sizi said, "Actually, this is a way of thinking. When many people see an ant with seven legs, they will soon think that the other six hundred also have seven legs. But not all ants have seven legs. Likewise, comparing people to ants, not all people are the same.”

Fang Xuanling sighed, "It turns out that this question has such a deep meaning, and everyone is different."

After speaking, Fang Xuanling turned around and said, "I understand, I'm going back now."

Little Si said again: "Won't Uncle Fang stay for dinner?"

Fang Xuanling said: "No, there are a lot of things in court."

Xiao Sizi regained his senses and looked at the chessboard again, and began to play chess.

After returning to the court, Fang Xuanling came to Wude Hall and reported to Li Shimin the return of Jingyang.

Li Shimin said: "They still don't want to take the imperial examination, do they?"

Fang Xuanling bowed and said: "Those children are indeed too young. Besides, people with lofty ideals from all walks of life are now taking part in the imperial examination. If children from Jingyang participate, it is inevitable that there will be many opinions."

Li Shimin took a sip of wine, ate the mutton and said, "You also think it's inappropriate for children from Jingyang to take the imperial examination?"

Fang Xuanling said again: "The children of Jingyang do have advantages in other aspects, but the people who want to take the imperial examination are actually a different kind of people. There is still a big gap between the children of Jingyang and ordinary scholars. What Your Majesty wants Talented people and Jingyang children are not the same kind of people."

Li Shimin cut off a piece of meat from the leg of lamb with a knife, and seemed to be thinking while eating.

Fang Xuanling said again: "Your Majesty, the imperial examinations have already been arranged, and it would be inappropriate to make any changes at this moment."

Li Shimin chewed the meat and said, "Go down first."

"Here."

Fang Xuanling bowed and left.

Walking out of the Hall of Martial Virtue, Fang Xuanling felt mixed feelings in his heart.

Du Ruhui stepped forward and asked, "What does Your Majesty say?"

Fang Xuanling glanced back at Wude Hall and said: "Your Majesty didn't say much, just asked. As for what His Majesty thinks, who knows."

Du Ruhui nodded and said: "What your Majesty wants is loyalty, someone who works for the country."

Fang Xuanling said sadly: "Speaking of which, the five surnames have already been disintegrated. It is not the five surnames that His Majesty suspects, but Li Zheng."

Du Ruhui also said: "Li Zheng has no power or power, and compared to others, Li Zheng is less of a threat."

Fang Xuanling said, "Is Li Zheng's threat really small to His Majesty?"

Du Ruhui said: "That depends on what His Majesty thinks."

Li Zheng's Jingyang Academy is independent of Chang'an, and the students he teaches are not used by His Majesty. This is the last thing Li Shimin wants to see.

Whether it's Daniel, Di Renjie, or Pei Xingjian.

There are too many talented people around Li Zheng.

Although there are many capable people in the court today, Li Shimin wants more than these. What Li Shimin wants is the talents of the next generation, and the young people of the next generation will serve the country.

But these talents are all in the hands of Li Zheng, and I don't know when these people around Li Zheng have become rare talents.

Just like Wang Xuance and Xue Rengui now.Their ability can be seen in the middle.

These talents in Jingyang are different from the rich and powerful in Chang'an. The children of the rich and powerful are born in generals and have a good fortune.

The talents in Li Zheng's hands are all clean, capable people like a blank sheet of paper, and this kind of capable people is also what Li Shimin desires.

East Palace
Li Chengqian listened to Changsun Wuji's narration.

Changsun Wuji said: "The children of Jingyang will definitely reject His Majesty, because the children of Jingyang are different from many people."

"How is it different?" Li Chengqian nodded and asked.
