Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 1025 Three Essay Questions

After everyone sat down, the first thing to start was the literary test.

This literature is not as straightforward as martial arts. There are many complicated things to consider.

Even among the first-class scholars of the day, who could claim to be omnipotent and omniscient?

What you can glimpse is just a corner of the vast ocean of books.

The martial arts test is the most important and the most interesting.

In order to save time, Emperor Yuan Zhen directly suggested: "How about we each come up with an essay question and let three representatives answer it, and the one with more answers wins?"

Xiao Chongyuan readily agreed: "That's very good."

It is fair for each country to come up with a question.

Even if the results of the literary test are the same, it doesn't matter.

A martial arts test can determine victory or defeat in one round.

Yuan Wu naturally had no objection.

Emperor Yuan Zhen ordered people to bring in pen and ink, and Emperor Yuan Zhen, Xiao Chongyuan and Yuan Wu each wrote a topic.

Emperor Yuan Zhen finished writing it quickly, and he wrote it eloquently.

He looked at Xiao Chongyuan and originally wanted to ask a chamberlain to write for him.

As a result, he saw that Xiao Chongyuan's writing was flying, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Soon, the three questions were put together by the waiter.

Emperor Yuan Zhen made a gesture: "Leave it to Song Taifu."

Song Chengzhang stood up and then walked to the high platform with the topic.

Feng Qingchen played by Ayi, Xiao Chongyuan's bodyguard Ma Wei and Ji Hezhen came on stage one after another.

There were fine wines and delicacies on the table, and everyone was tasting the wine while focusing their attention on the stage.

Bai Mingwei still looked calm.

He turned a blind eye to the glances that Prince Liu Yu cast from time to time.

At this time, Song Chengzhang opened the first question.

He spoke loudly: "What is something? What is something? What is high? What is low? What is fat? What is thin? What is thin? What is thick?"

As the words fell, whispers spread.

Who asked this question?
Is this also a question?
Bai Mingwei's eyes fell on Xiao Chongyuan.

She knew that this question came from Xiao Chongyuan.

It's Xiao Chongyuan's style.

The three people participating in the competition stood on the stage and thought.

Song Chengzhang stroked his beard, which showed that he liked this topic very much.

Time passed little by little, and the three of them had yet to answer.

"I figured out the answer."

At this moment, the "Blind Military Advisor" spoke.

Song Chengzhang smiled: "Military advisor, please answer."

Ah spoke the answer carefully, word by word, without even taking a breath.

"Wendong and Wuxi; the emperor is high and the courtiers are low; spring rains are fat but severe frosts are thin; people are weak but the king is kind."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was in an uproar.

There is no fixed answer to this question.

But Hajime's answer was impeccable.

Xiao Chongyuan, who asked the question, smiled and clapped nonchalantly: "As expected of a Dongling native, he is knowledgeable and I admire him."

The ministers laughed.

Even Yuan Wu was laughing.

However, Emperor Yuan Zhen's expression was a little stiff.

He didn't want Dongling to win.

If the blind military advisor proposed conditions to cancel the engagement between Bai Mingwei and Yuan Xun, then the gain would outweigh the loss.

At this time, Song Chengzhang nodded: "For the first question, Dongling wins."

Ah Yimian did not change his expression and stood proudly.

Then, Song Chengzhang began to read the second topic.

His brows furrowed slightly: "Which hexagram in the Book of Changes mentions the dragon many times?"

Needless to say, this question was asked by the only True Dragon Emperor present.

Ah Yi answered without thinking: "In the "Qian" hexagram of the "Book of Changes", dragons are mentioned many times. The following are the times."

"Ninth day: Don't use hidden dragons; Ninth two: Seeing a dragon in the field will help you meet a great person; Ninth three: A gentleman works all day long and is vigilant at night, so there is no fault; Ninth four: There is no fault in jumping into the abyss; Ninth five : Flying dragon in the sky, it is good to meet the adults; Shangjiu: A strong dragon has regrets; Use for a long time: It is auspicious to see a group of dragons without a leader." Song Chengzhang nodded: "Absolutely correct."

The Queen Mother nodded in relief.

The ministers were also very happy.

Only Emperor Yuan Zhen’s eyes fell on Qin Fengye.

It seemed as if he was going to eat Qin Fengye.

Qin Fengye was also aggrieved. Who would have thought that this blind military advisor could have such trouble.

Bai Mingwei had already figured out Yuan Wu's intention.

As for whether the conjecture can be confirmed, it depends on the subsequent results.

anyway.

After winning two games in a row, Dongling has defeated Xichu and Beiyan in the literary test.

If the next question is answered, then Xi Chu and Bei Yan will be tied.

So Hajime's mission was over.

In order to let Xi Chu and Bei Yan decide the winner, he would not answer the next question.

Song Chengzhang looked at Ah Yi with a little more approval.

At this time, he recited the last question: "Different numbers of Buddhist beads represent different meanings in Buddhism. What do the nineteen beads represent?"

The ministers whispered again.

Who understands this?

Who among those who do not practice Buddhism will truly understand this aspect of knowledge?
It seems that this question is difficult to answer.

I really don’t understand what the person who asked the question was thinking. Does he himself know the answer?

The Queen Mother smiled and asked Bai Mingwei: "General, do you know the answer?"

Bai Ming nodded slightly: "Go back to the Queen Mother, you know."

The Queen Mother smiled and said: "It is rare to read these books at such a young age."

Bai Mingwei responded respectfully: "The Queen Mother is ridiculous. I only came into contact with some Buddhism when I was at Chengtian Temple."

The Queen Mother nodded in agreement: "Buddhism and Taoism should not be so clearly distinguished. You can come into contact with Buddhism in Chengtian Temple, which shows the broad mind of Dongji Master."

Bai Mingwei was speechless.

Time passed little by little.

Ha Yi remained silent.

The remaining Xichu Mawei and Beiyan Jihezhen are still thinking hard.

All the ministers bet that no one can answer it.

But at this moment, Ma Wei spoke: "I know the answer."

Song Chengzhang nodded: "Please answer."

Ma Wei stumbled a bit when answering, but still told the answer bit by bit.

"The nineteen Buddha beads refer to the nineteen Dharma. The Nineteen Dharma means that Guanshiyin Bodhisattva appears in nineteen bodies to preach the Dharma according to the nature of all living beings."

Song Chengzhang asked: "What nineteen kinds of bodies?"

Ma Wei scratched his head and then said: "Nineteen kinds of bodies: Buddha body, Pratyekabuddha body, Sravaka body, Brahma king body, Emperor Shikaya body, free heaven body, great free heaven body, heavenly general body, Bi The body of a recluse, the body of a little king, the body of an elder, the body of a layman, the body of a magistrate, the body of a Brahmin, the four bodies of beings, the four bodies of women, the body of a boy and a girl, the eight parts of a god, a dragon, and the vajra body.”

Song Chengzhang nodded: "Absolutely correct."

Ma Wei cupped his hands and then stopped talking.

Najiga just stood there like a fool.

When Ma Wei was answering, he clasped his hands and counted them in front of everyone.

Exactly nineteen, no more, no less.

Everyone was surprised that a small guard could have such knowledge.

Immediately afterwards, he mocked Beiyan for being a barbarian, but failed to answer any of the three questions.

At this moment, the happiest people are the Dongling courtiers.

As long as he defeats Xichu and Beiyan in the next martial arts test, Dongling will be the absolute winner.

How can this not be exciting?
Only Bai Mingwei didn't show any joy on his face.

The Queen Mother asked her with a smile: "General, what are you thinking about? Military Master Feng won two games, why are you unhappy?"

Bai Mingwei asked the Queen Mother: "Mother, if the seventh brother loses the martial arts test, then there will be no winner. Should we compete again at that time, or should we give up?"

The Queen Mother frowned slightly.

She seemed to understand Yuan Xun's intention.
