"Then, sir, please tell us which books you have read so that we can judge.”Old Gan Long looked at Li Xiang and said. -- In fact, Gan Long didn't want to call Li Xiang Mister, but he didn't know his name. Even Che Ying only knew that Li Xiang's surname was Li. "What books have you read?" Li Xiang rubbed his chin and frowned as he pondered.
"Hurry up and say it! What books have you read? Have you forgotten everything?" Du Zhi saw Li Xiang dilly-dallying, so he stood up and urged.
"I didn't forget. It's just that I've read too many books, and I've read a lot recently. I don't know where to start.”Li Xiang chuckled and said. Li Xiang's memory and learning ability were extraordinary. His memories of his previous life were clear, and his new memories were firm. In addition, he had nothing to do and read the books in the exchange office in the system. He really did not know where to start, and he was not pretending.
"In that case, have you read the Book of Changes, the Rites of Zhou, the Analects of Confucius, and the Great Learning?”Old Gan Long still didn't show his emotions as he cupped his hands and asked. "I've read the Book of Changes, and I've also read the Analects of Confucius.”Li Xiang answered truthfully. The Book of Changes was the original copy that he had obtained from Ji Chang. The Analects of Confucius was not given to him by Confucius, but rather, he had memorized it in his previous life. "Oh? You don't know the Rites of Zhou or the Great Learning?”Old Gan Long was still expressionless, but he was actually overjoyed. He asked," Sir, you haven't even read this. How can you talk about governing the country and talking about being a wise person?”
As soon as Gan Long's words came out, most of the people in the court agreed with him and nodded their heads. However, Che Ying and Ying Quliang furrowed their brows, looking rather anxious. The two of them knew that Li Xiang's talent could not be tested by one or two books. Even if Li Xiang had not read all of them, he was still a great talent.
"In that case, you are knowledgeable and talented? " Li Xiang asked with a faint smile in the face of all the criticism. "Ignorant child, my teacher has read hundreds of books since he was young and ruled Qin for decades. How can you compare to him?”Du Zhi jumped out again. He felt a wave of displeasure in his heart when he saw Li Xiang's calm expression. "Oh, since you are so knowledgeable, you must have read 'Golden Lotus' before?”Bai Shun nodded and asked Old Gan Long.
"Hehe, I have never heard of it, but from its name, it is not a book about governing the country and educating people. What is the use of reading it?”Gan Long stroked his beard and replied calmly. " Well, you're right about that..." Li Xiang nodded and said. "Hmph, it's good that you know. The books that the doctor reads are all useful books. He will never touch useless books that are pretentious!”Du Zhi coldly snorted and said.
Although Gan Long didn't say anything, he was echoing his disciple Du Zhi's words. He pretended to be aloof and calm to let his disciple raise him up. It was simply like a crosstalk, making Li Xiang feel a little nauseous.
"In that case, have you ever read 'Pestilence,''Typhoid,''Compendium of Materia Medica,''Qimin Yaoshu,''Heavenly Works,''Nongzheng Quanshu',' Mengxi Pen Talks,'Nine Chapters on Arithmetic,''Wen Xin Diao Long',' Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosopy,'and' The Declaration of Indent'?”Li Xiang's mouth was like a string of pearls as he spat out multiple titles and asked Gan Long. " This, this..." Gan Long was stunned. He had never heard of these titles before. How could he read them? " Have you read 'Theory of Evolution',' Theory of Relation','A Short History of Time',' A Short History of Nature','Origin of Species' or 'Quantum Mechanics'…"
"Enough!" Du Zhi angrily interrupted Li Xiang's words and rushed in front of Li Xiang. He pointed at Li Xiang and scolded," Don't think that you can cover up the matter by making up some random books. None of these books are real. You're just a liar. You're not even as good as those scholars in the Recruitment Hall!”"Really?" Li Xiang blinked his "pure and innocent" eyes.
Crack!
" Ahhhh!!!!!" While everyone was still confused, Du Zhi suddenly kneeled on the ground, clutching his fingers and letting out a miserable cry.
"Brat, you dare! You actually injured an important official of my Qin country in the main hall! Ruler, please order people to take down this madman and punish him!”A scholar suddenly stood out angrily and pointed at Li Xiang. "Which eye of yours saw me hurt someone?”Li Xiang turned his head indifferently and looked at the scholar as he asked. "If you didn't hurt anyone, why would brother Du Zhi cry out in pain? You're so vicious!" The scholar said with a pained expression. "I haven't moved at all. Perhaps it's because this Brother Du Zhi has been enjoying himself every night, and now his fingers can't bear the weight…" Brother Du Zhi was just exposing your true colors, but he suddenly collapsed. If it wasn't you, who else could it be?”The scholar glared at him and said.
"Oh, last night, a sow in the tavern I stayed in became pregnant. I suspect that it was you who did it.”"You! "Pfff!" Wen Zhi immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and fell onto Du Zhi's body. Du Zhi let out another miserable cry. "Alright! Imperial Physician! Take these two people away!" Ying Quliang finally spoke.
Just like that, Du Zhi, who had his finger broken by Li Xiang's internal force and suffered internal injuries, and a scholar, who had been shaken by Li Xiang's internal force until his entire body was bleeding, were taken away.
This story told us that if someone tried to reason with you, you should talk nicely. Don't play dirty when you can't win. You might be beaten up badly. But now, Du Zhi and that scholar clearly wanted to play the hard way. Then, Li Xiang, as the top peerless expert of the world, could not pretend to be a weak scholar and let himself be trampled on.
"Ruler, even if Du Zhi wasn't injured by him, his lies and deception are facts. Ruler, please punish him and expel him from Yueyang!”Seeing that his disciple had been taken away in such a manner, Gan Long could no longer perform his double act, and he no longer pretended to be aloof. He stood up straight away, cupped his hands and said to Ying Quliang.
"This…how do you explain this, sir?" Ying Quliang didn't know what to do either, but he had a hunch that Bai Shun was the only one who knew the world, and those books were definitely not fabricated titles. " The first chapter of Tian Gong Kai Wu is grain, the ancient Shennong is almost dead…"" Qi Min Yao Shu, volume nine, roasting method eighty…"" Compendium of Materia Medica, grass section, wind fairy, slightly bitter, warm, slightly poisonous…"
Li Xiang didn't give any explanation and calmly chose a few passages to read out. The surroundings immediately fell silent. The monarch and his subjects of the State of Qin all had dull eyes and expressions of fear. These... these books, even if it was just a short selection of the contents, could already be considered classics handed down from generation to generation, not to mention what the entire book would look like.
" Why haven't we heard of such a book before…" The scholars and ministers of the Qin Dynasty began to doubt their lives. Could it be that the people of the old Qin Dynasty had closed their doors to the world? Why had he never heard of so many classics? "Could it be that these books were all written by Sagemaster Li Er?”Ying Quliang suddenly recalled that the Li Xiang mentioned by Che Ying might be the descendant of the sagemaster Li Er, and he said as he came to a sudden realization.
"What is it? Was it done by the sagemaster? So that was the case, but why did it not spread to the world, but this gentleman knew it?”The ministers were still discussing.
" Ah, it was written by our ancestor!" Li Xiang weakly admitted.
It couldn't be helped. With Li Xiang in the Qin Kingdom, he had become stronger from a weak state. He had fought for six generations and swept across the world. This was only the foundation. If Bai Shun helped the Qin Kingdom avoid the danger and died in the second generation, then Bai Shun could really die in battle. Since Qin Bu would not die in his second life, there was a high chance that those ancient books would not appear in the future. Since that was the case, he would claim them.
