Chapter 12: Ji Yongchang's daughter is coming to see the emperor! (Overhaul)
"Your Majesty, I have brought the driver to the capital. He is waiting outside the palace. You can ask him to come directly."

The emperor thought that Lord Ji was quick-witted.

But there is really such a person as Lord Ji.

At this time, outside the palace gate.

The grooms and servants of the ministers who were going to the court were all waiting at a fixed place. Like their masters, these people gathered in groups of three or five.

The higher the rank of the master in a family, the higher the status of the groom in that family;
The master of a family has a stronger background, and the groom of that family is more arrogant;
Officials in the capital city and their servants are divided into different levels.

Niu Er is the one with the lowest status.

No one wanted to talk to him, so he stayed in a corner and painted on the wooden board he carried with him. When the board was full of writing, he used a knife to scrape off the top layer.

Even so, he still suffered from vague bullying.

Several grooms who were on good terms with Liu Ling's groom gathered together and laughed at him.

"Look at him, he's so silly."

"It's so dirty. I don't know how he can serve his master."

"A peasant from a small country town is as useless as his master..."

Their voices were like poisonous snakes entering his ears. Niu Er felt very uncomfortable at first, but later he pretended not to hear them. They were all servants, so only they thought they were superior if they laughed at others.

As they talked,
A group of palace guards in armor came forward.

The gossiping grooms were frightened into silence, and then they surrounded him flatteringly, "My lords, what can I do for you?"

The leading guard looked around and asked, "Who among you is Niu Er, the groom of the Imperial Censor Ji's family?"

Niu Er was a little confused and nervous when he was called, "What do you want me to do, sir?"

The chief guard didn't waste his words: "His Majesty has summoned you, come with us!"

##
Above the main hall,

The legendary emperor sat at the highest point, surrounded by high-ranking officials whom he normally wouldn't even dare to look at. Niu Er had never seen such a scene before, and his body was trembling as he knelt on the ground.

"Don't be afraid, Niu Er. I called you here today to help Mr. Guo calculate the round rate."

Ji Yongchang patted his shoulder and said, "Don't you like to calculate this the most on weekdays? Just say it normally."

Niu Er still stuttered when he heard this.

But when he said that the circumference of a circle with a diameter of ten feet should be between three feet one foot four inches one minute five centimeters nine millimeters two seconds (3.141592) and three feet one foot four inches one minute five centimeters nine millimeters three seconds (3.141593),

The pride in Guo Tu's eyes disappeared!

Because before coming, in order to prevent the Zhou Kingdom from fooling around with wrong numbers, he gathered people from Daxia who were proficient in numerology, and they were only able to calculate to 3.1415 centimeters.

However, Zhou Guo was completely unprepared, but he was able to calculate a more accurate answer by just grabbing a groom!

The face of the Great Zhou was saved.
Guo Tu felt like Daxia had been slapped twice.

His face was dark blue.
Emperor Wenxuan, who was in a high position, knew that the groom was right. He smiled and looked over, asking knowingly, "Are you satisfied, envoy?"

"The Great Zhou is full of talented people, and it is truly worthy of its reputation. Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."

An envoy is an envoy, and his psychological quality is extremely good.

Even though his face was swollen, he still managed to keep a straight face and even tried to turn the game around. "I have another question, and I can't figure it out."

In order to avoid being interrupted, he did not wait for the emperor to speak and said directly: "The tortoise is slow, and the hare is fast. However, when the tortoise and the hare are competing, the tortoise is ahead of the hare. When the hare is chasing the tortoise, the tortoise has not stopped. Therefore, the tortoise should always be faster than the hare. Why is the reality completely the opposite?"

As soon as this word comes out,
All the ministers in the court looked at each other in bewilderment. Most of them didn't even understand the question, but when they saw a few officials in deep thought, they immediately pretended to think as well.

I dare not say it. I am afraid that if I say it, it will reveal that I am not as smart as others.

In the main hall,
Be quiet for a moment,

Everyone couldn't help but cast their eyes on the coachman in the center.

Ji Yongchang also spoke at the right time, "Niu Er, can you help the envoy solve his doubts?"

Niu Er was already in deep confusion at this moment. He bit his finger and couldn't figure it out. "Yes, the tortoise ran earlier than the rabbit, and it walked a little further than the rabbit. Divide the time into small segments, and every time it stops, the tortoise should run a little more than the rabbit...

That's not right, the rabbit shouldn't surpass the tortoise, but how could the rabbit not surpass the tortoise..."

Niu Er understood this question.

Niu Er was almost driven crazy by the questions.
"Master Ji, I don't know why. I have never encountered such a weird spell."

When Guo Tu first announced the topic, he was actually very nervous about Niu Er.

He was really afraid that this person could solve this problem as well.

However, seeing that he was very emotional, mumbling to himself, as if possessed by evil spirits, Guo Tu finally felt relieved.

Fortunately, just in case, he had specially asked the Imperial Master to give him a magic question. Not to mention the people who didn't know the answer, even if the Imperial Master told him the answer, Guo Tu still had to think about it for a long time before he figured it out.

See here,

He relaxed slightly.

Although there were some mistakes in the plan, it was still enough to embarrass the Zhou Kingdom, and if it got out, it would be enough to make them a laughing stock.

The smile on Emperor Wenxuan's face was gradually disappearing.

He looked coldly at the pretentious and useless officials below.

The honor and disgrace of the day was actually related to a groom. Ji Yongchang could only pat Niu Er on the shoulder and said softly, "Don't be nervous, take another look. If you really can't solve it, it's okay."

"Master Ji, I really can't figure it out. I have never encountered such a weird spell."

At this moment, his mind was full of rabbits and turtles. His head was about to explode. Then he thought of someone: "Such a weird and difficult question... I'm afraid only the second lady can answer it!"

"Nonsense!"

When Ji Yongchang heard him mention Ji Nanxing, he frowned, "What does this have to do with the Second Miss?"

"It does matter, sir."

Niu Er brought him explosive news, "My method and algorithm for solving the circle rate were taught by the Second Miss."

All of a sudden, all eyes in the court were focused on Ji Yongchang.

Some people are curious about the background of the second young lady of the Ji family;
Some people are glad that Ji Yongchang has now come forward, and no matter how well he does, they can hide behind him and escape punishment;

Some people also disliked Guo Tu, thinking that he was ugly, sinister and cunning, and that he wanted to challenge the majesty of the Great Zhou after attracting the attention of the public. They should find a reason to kill him as soon as possible...

Everyone is thinking about a lot,

Only Ji Yongchang was thinking about how to make up for Niu Er's words.

Nan Xing did have some cleverness that ordinary people didn't have, but now was not the time to use it. If she wasn't careful, she might get into trouble.

From his high position, Emperor Wenxuan could clearly see the expressions of every minister below.

Of course, he also noticed Ji Yongchang's embarrassment, but the emperor's authority could not be offended. "Announce that Ji Yongchang's daughter will come to the emperor!"
