The next day, the news of Li Bawang writing three essays that shocked the Confucian world had spread throughout Luoan City. Countless scholars were discussing him and his three essays.
Whether it was in the teahouses or restaurants, many people were talking about it. Some young people regarded Li Bawang as a role model for the younger generation.
Li Bawang became Tang Ge's 'star' character.
Of course, there were also people who were disdainful and thought that the royal family was fishing for fame. They found a group of great scholars to push the three articles to be signed by a member of the royal family.
There were even some people who maliciously speculated that this was Li Er's own doing. He did it to erase the 'that' incident not long ago and to climb to that high position.
Even the talented young people of the aristocratic families did not think that the three articles were written by Li Bawang at all. Even if they were written by him, it only meant that he had brought out the articles from the sky.
In a restaurant where scholars gathered, a group of young fanatics were drinking and discussing.
A scion from an aristocratic family was talking loudly.
" I heard that the Third Prince came to the Upper Realm and descended upon me. I don't believe that he wrote all three articles. Although I haven't read the original manuscript, I've read the articles. From my understanding of ancient texts, these three articles, which are a collection of various allusions, definitely can't be written by one person.”
This person said without any scruples.
There were naturally people who were flattering him at the side. They immediately said,"Brother Wang, how do you think we should explain this?”
"Presumably, such an article can only be written by a mighty person from the heavens. He merely copied the article from the heavens, so it can't be considered his talent."”
The other young men agreed and nodded.
If someone paid attention, they would notice that these young people gathered together were basically descendants of aristocratic families. Most of them were from the five natures and seven gazes. Even if they were not direct descendants, they were from the side branches.
This Wang family's Third Prince was from the Wang family's side branch in Taiyuan.
The reason why they talked about the royal family and the three essays written by Li Bawang again without any scruples was that this was Tang Ge, not the later dynasty.
Tang Ge was different from the later dynasties. Although he couldn't say that he had complete freedom of speech, he was definitely more relaxed than the later dynasties.
Moreover, people had not lost their dignity and had not been conquered by servile thoughts.
In Tang Ge, the ministers did not kneel in court. Even ordinary people did not need to kneel when they saw the emperor. They only needed to bow.
This was still an era where filial piety was highly valued. People respected the elderly very much. For example, even if an old man of high moral standing was reprimanded by the Emperor, the Emperor would not dare to say anything, let alone refute him. He could only accept it.
Therefore, people in Tang Ge had their own thoughts and were not completely suppressed by the imperial power or controlled by servility.
Moreover, these descendants of the aristocratic families had the support of the aristocratic families behind them, so they had no fear of the Li Imperial Family at all. As long as they did not commit heinous crimes, the laws of the world were ineffective against them.
When everyone was jeering and thinking that Li Bawang had no real talent, someone suggested.
"Since everyone thinks that His Highness has no real talent, why not test him? If he can prove that he is really talented, we will be convinced.”
"It, it should be like this."
"Yes, I know that His Highness has always lived in the imperial manor outside Luo 'an City. Why don't we go to the manor and' consult 'His Highness so that he can use his talent to convince us?”
"Hahaha, good, good, let's go.”
Then, a group of young people who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth gathered together and headed to the imperial manor outside the city.
However, even if they were descendants of great clans, how could they easily rely on the Imperial Manor? It had to be known that this place had been turned into a forbidden area by Li Erhua. How could ordinary people easily enter and exit?
Therefore, when they approached the Imperial Manor, they were immediately discovered and stopped by the soldiers.
"We want to see His Highness Li Bawang.”Wang Sanlang righteously shouted at the soldiers.
They would take ordinary soldiers seriously. They might not even treat ordinary officers well.
"That's right, what right do you have to stop us? We're here to discuss knowledge with His Highness.”Someone echoed.
The soldiers had no choice but to stop him. They didn't dare to say anything and immediately sent someone to report to the deputy general.
Soon, the deputy general received the report. He couldn't help but frown. Although he could order these aristocratic children around, he didn't want to bring trouble to Li Er.
Lin Qi also came to Li Bawang's side and told him what had happened.
"Your Highness, there is a group of scions outside the manor who want to discuss knowledge with Your Highness. It is said that they have published the article you gave to the two scholars yesterday. Some people praise your talent, while others express doubts. These young people think that only by truly displaying your talent can they be convinced.”
Li Bawang was cultivating, waiting for the jade plate to absorb the energy of heaven and earth. He wanted to confirm if he would transmigrate again at seven o'clock.
Therefore, he did not have the time to care about these people. He only said indifferently,"Give them two questions. If they can solve them, then see me. If they can't solve them, then get lost.”
The first question was very simple. Even in ancient times, anyone who had some mathematical knowledge would know.
This question was similar to the 'chicken and rabbit in the same cage' question, but it was changed to other animals. It was considered a free question. If they could not even solve this, these people would probably lose all their face.
Then, he unkindly wrote the math questions that had tortured countless primary school students.
The first question was a classic hotel question. Three people went to a hotel for 30 coins a night, and each of them gathered 10 coins. The boss only asked for 25 coins, and the waiter asked for 5 coins back. The waiter took away 2 coins, and each of them returned 1 coin. In the end, there were only 29 coins. Where did the remaining one coin go?
The last one was the mathematics application problem that gave countless primary school students a headache. Although it was a little difficult for the ancients to use it at this time, who asked these idiots to come looking for trouble?# Date:08 24 2019 4:30PM
