Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

Chapter 38: Can't do it, strange questions are too difficult

Li Xin knew that he was bluffing, but Wang Wenjian and Cui Wenyuan didn't know. When they heard that Li Xin was going to publicize the matter, the two were immediately shocked.

It is said that this is not a big deal, but it just didn't solve the problem. But this is no small matter for Wang Wenjian and Cui Wenyuan.

The reason is also very simple:

Wang Wenjian, whose surname is Wang, comes from the Wang family of Taiyuan.

Cui Wenyuan, surnamed Cui, comes from Boring Cui family.

They are all children of the Gaomen family from five surnames and seven hopes. Although they are not the most noble and purest descendants of the clan, but at any rate, it is because of relatively outstanding talents that they have the opportunity to be recommended by the family to be an official in the dynasty. This is the so-called "Men Yin", one of the most important ways to enter the dynasty as an official in the Tang Dynasty.

The biggest foundation for the implementation of this system was that at that time, people generally believed that the children of the gentry had only learned people, far surpassing the poor. This kind of birth determinism, which is completely incomprehensible to modern people, was almost the basic consensus of the whole society in the Tang Dynasty.

Under this premise, what Wang Wenjian and Cui Wenyuan carried was not only the dignity of the two of them, but also the dignity of the Wang family of Taiyuan and the Cui family of Boring behind them.

Once the two of them fail to answer the difficult questions made by the King of Chu and spread, it will provoke ridicule, and even the family will be ashamed. After all, the reputation of King Chu in Chang'an is too stinky. It's not good for someone, and you have to lose to such an unlearned dude!

Both Wang Wenjian and Cui Wenyuan flashed in their hearts the possible serious consequences of embarrassing the family, and then swallowed together and read the same conclusion from each other's eyes.

"Can't go! Absolutely can't just leave like this!"

The two turned their heads at the same time, then took out their respective topics and thought about it.

Old Zheng smiled and looked at the expressions on the faces of these two people that were a little bit more painful than two months of constipation, and he felt as happy as drinking a large glass of vinaigrette.

Finally, after an unknown period of time, the two could no longer bear the feeling of splitting headaches, bowed their hands to Old Zheng, and honestly said: "We have surrendered. Can you tell His Royal Highness? Let’s say that Wang Wenjian (Cui Wenyuan), the head of the household, wants to see you!"

Knowing is knowing, not knowing is knowing, knowing.

This is the teaching of Mr. Kong.

For the children of the noble family, it is certainly a shame to be less knowledgeable than others, but if they can’t be better than others and run away in despair, as Wang Wenjian and Cui Wenyuan wanted to do at the beginning, the shameful effect will be doubled, and even affected Family reputation, for example, children who are accused of being taught do not have the demeanor that a scholar should have.

Since you can't escape and you can't solve the problem, the answer is actually obvious how to deal with the situation in front of you.

Wang Wenjian and Cui Wenyuan had no other choice, so they had to bow their heads.

"When did they admit defeat and when to let them in." Lao Zheng clearly remembered his prince's explanation at the time, so he opened the door according to the prince's instructions, put the two in, and said: "Please! The prince is already behind. Ting is waiting for two!"

Seeing the vermillion door slowly opening, Wang Wenjian and Cui Wenyuan felt excited at the same time, as if they had finally stepped out of a long and winding dark tunnel and saw the light at the end of the tunnel. Cui Wenyuan couldn't help but some eyes were red, and Wang Wenjian even wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes secretly with his sleeve.

Under the leadership of the subordinates, the two passed through the palace to the back court.

It was noon at this time, and the sun was still so lazy. The Chu King Li Xin they were going to visit was lying on a weird thing dangling in the sun.

The thing is wooden, it looks like a bed, but it's not flat. On the whole, it's a bit curved, especially the base of this thing is two half-moon-shaped wooden boards. This kind of base makes it impossible to stop firmly on the ground at all, it always sways slowly, and it doesn't have the stable appearance that furniture should have at all.

If Li Xin knew what Cui Wenyuan and Wang Wenjian thought about the recliner under him at this moment, he would stand up and feel very angrily by pressing them on the recliner in turn: "You touch your conscience and say, shake it like this. Not happy?"

In the days of the Tang Dynasty, Li Xin missed all kinds of furniture from later generations, so he asked Wang Gui to invite two or three carpenters to do long-term work. At this moment, the recliner under him is the masterpiece of these carpenters. I have to say that no matter what era, the craftsmanship of the craftsmen is commendable. Li Xin just said a few words casually, and they used their brilliant wisdom to overcome the problem and made a decent recliner.

In the warm afternoon sun of autumn, I set up a deck chair in the yard, lay it, shake it, and bask in the sun. It's so beautiful... If you still hold a girl in your arms, we will be together here. Soak up the sun on your lounge chair and take a nap, then it will be more moisturizing........

Without opening his eyes, Li Xin accurately raised his hand and wiped off the halazi at the corner of his mouth.

Wang Gui saw it in his eyes, coughed slightly, and said, "Master, a guest is here."

"Huh?" Li Xin opened his eyes and took a look. Seeing two strangers standing beside Wang Gui, he closed his eyes again and said, "You are here."

Wang Wenjian and Cui Wenyuan couldn't help it either. No matter how unconvinced in my heart, and no matter how unpleasant to see Li Xin, we still have to do the superficial work that should be done. The two had no choice but to bow: "Xiaguan Wang Wenjian (Cui Wenyuan) pays homage to King Chu."

Although Li Xin only has titles and no official positions, he shouldn't be regarded as a "shangguan" in theory, but there is no way, his status is too special.

Li Xin waved his hand casually and said, "You are too slow to come. I have been in this yard for a long time."

The faces of Wang Wenjian and Cui Wenyuan changed. Wang Wenjian said with a smile, "It's not because of the high talents of the King of Chu, I was embarrassed by two questions at random!" He reread the words "high talents" and "random", yin The irony was overwhelmingly accusing Li Xin of making things difficult for him.

Li Xin grinned when he heard the words.

"Are you too funny?" Li Xin pointed to Wang Wenjian, "I gave you a question, but you can't do it, so you blame me for being too difficult? If you think it's your way, I didn't pass the imperial examination. Can all the scholars blame the exam questions for being too difficult? You still have a strange face? I really admire your face!"
