Be a master through ancient times

"Everyone, what do you think? The day after tomorrow is the competition period, and everyone needs to finalize the regulations today and tomorrow." Tianhedi said.

Everyone present looked at each other in blank dismay. It was simple to say, but not easy to do.If any part is not coordinated well, it will not only lose one's face, but also the country behind it will be ashamed.

"Chu Ci, you are the youngest here, so how about you being the first to attract others?" Tianhedi waited a little impatiently.

Chu Ci was suddenly pointed out, but he didn't panic at all.He stood up, bowed to everyone first, and then said: "Since the sage wants the humble minister to speak first, then the humble minister will be disrespectful. I think that this time the topic can be set up with several links, and then evaluated by the point system." performance of the students."

As soon as Chu Ci spoke, everyone's attention was attracted.His words are not difficult to understand, but what is the points system?

"The point system is to accumulate points. For example, if you answer a question correctly, you will get [-] points, otherwise, you will lose points. At the end, whichever side has the highest score will win." Chu Ci explained.

Everyone looked at each other with approval in their eyes.Tianhe Emperor nodded and said, "Continue talking."

"Yes! These links can be set up like this. For example, the first link is a compulsory question. Select the questions from everyone and put them together, and the students will take turns to answer the questions. We can decide to answer a round according to the number of questions. There are still two rounds. After every student from the Three Kingdoms has answered the questions, this session will end."

"However, if the questions drawn are all from other countries and you can't answer them, what should you do?" asked Huo Hua, the Counselor and Political Envoy of the Mengshe Kingdom.

"Your envoy don't have to worry. If they draw questions from other countries, then others must also draw questions from other countries. Isn't that very fair?" Chu Ci said.

Min Zhen nodded and said, "This prince also thinks it's okay."

"So, it's settled like this?" Chu Ci asked tentatively. He looked around and saw that everyone had no doubts, so he continued, "This second link is called rush answering questions. After everyone has set up Questions will be presented one by one, and the students of the Three Kingdoms will judge for themselves. If they can answer, they will grab it; if they can’t, they won’t. If there are early answers or mistakes, corresponding points will be deducted.”

"Scramble to answer questions? How do these literati and scholars fight? If everyone swarms up and talks in a hurry, wouldn't it be difficult to hear clearly?" Min Zhen has always admired Confucian cultural etiquette and doesn't like the scene of you fighting for each other.

"Second prince, you are too worried." Chu Ci knew what he was thinking when he heard it, "This quick-answer question is not for them to grab or something. Just pull the rope hanging by the table, The people behind will naturally figure out who pulls faster."

"So that's how it is!" Min Zhen nodded, "What happened after rushing to answer the question? What is it?"

Chu Ci looked at Tianhe Emperor, saw him nodding, and continued: "After the rush to answer the questions, there are risk questions. There are [-], [-] and [-] question types respectively, and then each country's Students discuss, and each side has one or two chances to answer, depending on how they choose. Correct answers will add corresponding points, and wrong answers will be deducted."

"I finally know the reason why His Majesty the Emperor of Wei trusted Chu Siye so much. These things are unheard of in our country. Moreover, in this way, the problem just now seems to be solved. If the students don't know how to answer the compulsory questions, they can do it." Recover through quick answer questions and risky questions. And this judgment based on the score makes it easy for people to know at a glance which side of the student is better!" said Prince Geluo, he looked reckless, but in fact he was calculating. Otherwise, he would not be allowed to be an envoy.

"Prince Ge Luo is right, this prince has never heard that he can act like this." Min Zhen added.

"Thank you for your compliments, Chu is ashamed." Chu Ci cupped his hands in embarrassment and said, then he turned to Emperor Tianhe and said, "My lord, actually I have another idea."

"But it's okay to say." Tianhedi was in a good mood.

"I thought that the question maker could invite envoys from other countries to participate. Especially the quick-answer questions and risk questions can be set by people from other countries. In this way, other countries can better participate. It can also make these questions more valuable, and the winner of the competition can easily convince the crowd." Chu Ci obviously considered it comprehensively.

Tianhedi agreed very much. He looked at the others and asked, "What do your envoys think of Chu Aiqing's proposal?"

"Just do what Chu Siye says. This prince can't think of anything better."

"This king also agrees, so let's do what Chu Siye says."

If both sides have spoken, then the charter can be regarded as set.After that, each country had to come up with good questions before noon tomorrow. They discussed the number of questions and decided that each country would come up with [-] questions, and the other countries would each come up with [-] questions.That's about as good as it gets.

Since it was already afternoon and time was tight, the envoys of the two countries left one after another and went back to ponder the topic.Chu Ci was left behind.

"Chu Aiqing has worked hard recently. Since the construction of the cultural park, she has become thinner and more vigorous. This event is very good. No matter if it is a foreign envoy or a court official, everyone praises it. It's a pity that I can't kiss her." It’s a great pity to watch it live. You, Chu Aiqing, have contributed a lot to accomplishing this in such a short period of time.”

"Thank you sage for your compliments. These are all things that I do not dare to ask for credit. As long as the people of the world can benefit from it, I will be satisfied." Chu Ci was very modest and did not take credit for himself. He Di looked at him with even more satisfaction.

"Chu Aiqing is high-spirited, but I have to reward you. Otherwise, wouldn't people in the world think that I deliberately treat heroes harshly? Tell me, whatever reward you want, as long as you ask, I will grant it." Tianhe Emperor He always knew that Chu Ci was a measured person, otherwise he wouldn't dare to promise like this.

Chu Ci was in a dilemma for a while, if you want more, it will make people feel greedy, if you want less, you have to take into account the emperor's face.Last time the emperor gave a lot of rewards, among which there were a lot of vases and jade decorations, such ones can only be displayed, what's the use?The only thing available is the golden ruler that he personally asked for.You can't ask for another gold ruler, can you?

Many thoughts flashed through his mind, but he was only stunned for a moment, and he said: "Thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of the king. No matter what the Holy One rewards, Chu Ci is so grateful that there are no words to express."

"Oh? If I give you a marriage, you will be happy too?" Tianhedi started the idea of ​​a matchmaker. There is a girl in his royal uncle's family who happens to be 16 years old this year. A talent like Chu Ci is not considered to be superior to her. , with his ability, the future will definitely be limitless.

Chu Ci was really stunned this time, he froze in place, unable to speak for a while.If the emperor had said such a thing a few days earlier, perhaps Chuci would have thought about it.But he knew that even if he considered it, he would probably refuse.

Yesterday's idea was not a whim, he already had Kou Jing's place in his heart, if he hadn't been deceived by his own brotherhood before, he probably would have left the single dog association long ago.

The point now is not how he should express his mind, but how to make Tian Hedi stop this idea.It is obviously not feasible to talk about the orders of parents and matchmakers like last time. This person is the biggest in the world. If he directly asks for a marriage, it will be ugly if the trouble cannot be ended later.

But how can I make him not mention it in the future?In fact, there is a method, but Chu Ci is unwilling to use it.Because most men are quite taboo about this matter, if it is said to be inhumane, if it becomes a reality, won't it affect his happy life?

After thinking about it, Chu Ci suddenly remembered that he had heard of Kou Jing's orders before.At that time, he also denounced feudal superstition, telling Kou Jing not to believe it.However, Kou Jing still cares a little bit. From this, it is enough to see that the superstitious psychology of the ancients...

Seeing that he bowed his head and said nothing, Emperor Tianhe joked, "Why, Chu Aiqing was so overjoyed that she was speechless for a while?"

Chu Ci's heart was hardened, and he decided to fight!He pinched his thigh hard with his hand, then raised his head.

Tianhedi was startled, there was no ecstasy on his face, there were tears in his eyes, and he looked in pain.

"You...what's the matter?" Tianhedi was very puzzled, did it bring such pain to marry a wife?

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for being rude." Chu Ci said sobbingly, "Just now I heard His Majesty mention the marriage, and I couldn't help feeling sad, so I couldn't help losing my composure."

"Chu Aiqing, what are your difficulties, you might as well tell me." The gossip factor in Tianhedi's heart suddenly became agitated.

"Your Majesty doesn't know that I was born before the full term. At that time, my mother gave birth to me with dystocia and almost died of blood collapse. Fortunately, the expert who passed by came to rescue me, so both mother and child are safe." This is true. , but the expert is actually his Aunt Niu next door.

"The expert counted my birth date, and said that because I was born under the full moon, my horoscope has been completely changed, and my yin energy is too strong. I can't get close to women in this life. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will make the other party suffer."

Emperor Tianhe frowned: "I'm afraid the words of the warlocks may not be believed."

Chu Ci looked at Tianhe Emperor as if he had seen his confidant, and said, "This minister thinks the same way! However, several things happened in succession, but I have no choice but to believe it."

"What's the matter?"

"I have been very cute since I was a child, and I often played with girls in the village. When the family met, they said they would help us make a baby marriage and marry the two surnames. However, on the day of the joke, the girl fell into the well. Fortunately, the neighbors Save each other, otherwise, you will die." Chu Ci sighed.

Tianhedi was a little hesitant, but still said: "Girls are playful when they are young, and sometimes they make mistakes."

"Weichen thought the same way. After growing up, Weichen fell in love with another woman in the village. He wanted to tell his parents and marry her. But that night, a fire broke out in this woman's house. If it wasn't for the discovery In time, the family of five may be buried in the flames." Chu Ci sighed.

Tianhe Emperor was a little surprised, he thought to himself, and said to himself: "So powerful?"

Chu Ci smiled wryly, and said: "This is not the most powerful. Weichen passed the examination at the age of 14, and everyone around me thought I was a good talent, so they wanted to betroth their daughter to me. When I was 16 years old, A wealthy family from another village wanted to marry my family. Weichen felt a little bit grudged, so he didn't dare to agree. But he said it would be fine, and he insisted on persuading my mother that it would be a good deal to use my birth date. But one day, the young lady suddenly had a high fever , I kept talking nonsense, and I was about to die, but I realized that I was wrong and burned the birthday characters separately to avoid this disaster. Since then, I have given up the idea of ​​marrying a wife and having children, so as not to harm innocent women life."

What he said was true, but it had little to do with him.Chu Ci felt that he was actually not good at making up things. If you don’t believe me, you can go to Changxi Village to see the two archways. The above is much more exaggerated than this!

Tianhedi was in doubt, thinking that it was fortunate that he hadn't told Yuning, otherwise, with such a powerful fate, he didn't know what tragedy would happen.

"Since that's the case, I won't—" insisted.

"Your Majesty, I heard that a person with high fate can ward off evil spirits... If not, why don't you tell a noble lady to give it a try?" Chu Ci said eagerly, his eyes full of longing.

Tianhedi's face changed drastically: "This...there are almost no noble girls in the capital waiting in the boudoir, and some of them are not suitable for your age! Chu Aiqing, as a man, you should not think about the relationship between your children all day long. It's a long matter. You go and ask the topic first, and you can call someone directly. As for your reward, I will think about it carefully, so you should step down first!"

Chu Ci laughed heartily, but his face was full of unresolved sorrow.He sighed, stood up and bid farewell to Tianhedi.The somewhat staggering back made Tianhe Emperor feel very guilty. He raised this topic before but refused to honor it. Instead, he uncovered Chu Ci's scar, alas!What is this called!
