Fang Xuanling thought for a while and said, "There are two hundred in four thousand."

After saying the answer, Fang Xuanling looked at the three children's expressions and hesitated for a while and asked again: "Are you right?"

Di Renjie smiled awkwardly.

Daniu said: "Old Fang, this is not the answer."

Fang Xuanling stood there in a daze, watching the three children walking away, and didn't know what to say for a moment, muttering in his heart, wasn't it four thousand and two hundred?

While thinking while walking, Fang Xuanling came to Li Zheng's doorstep.

Seeing Li Zheng humming a strange tune and playing chess with Princess Jinyang.

Fang Xuanling first saluted Princess Jinyang, and then said to Li Zheng: "I have seen them."

Li Zheng's eyes were still on the chessboard and said, "Did they agree to be officials?"

Fang Xuanling sighed, "They refused, this result must be as expected."

Li Zheng said: "Their own skills are just not in line with being an official."

After glanced at Fang Xuanling's expression, Li Zheng said again: "How to say it... in other words, it's not professional."

"Is professional not right?" This sentence made Fang Xuanling a little confused. Professional not right? After thinking about it carefully, it seemed that he understood something.

After thinking for a while, Fang Xuanling said again: "In addition to not participating in the imperial examination, those three boys also asked a question."

Li Zheng drank hot water, put the cannon on the opposite side and said, "General!"

Little Shizi stared at the chessboard and thought nervously.

Fang Xuanling saw Li Zheng playing chess so obsessed and said, "Are you listening to me?"

"Listen, listen." Li Zheng nodded constantly and said, "What other question did they ask."

Fang Xuanling said, "A one ant has seven legs, how many legs are there for six hundred ants? I answered that there are two hundred in four thousand, but I said that I answered wrongly."

Little Aizi looked at the chessboard and said, "I did get the answer wrong."

Fang Xuanling looked at Princess Jinyang in surprise and said, "I have also read the brain teasers written in Jingyang, but there is no such topic."

Little Rice looked at the chessboard in front of her and moved it one step.

Li Zheng put the car on the head and said, "I'm going to die."

Little Aizi looked at the chessboard for a long time, and confirmed for a while that she was about to die. She pouted and said, "Start again!"

Fang Xuanling, who was standing aside, whispered: "Li Zheng, what is the answer."

Little Shizi reorganized the chessboard and said, "Uncle Fang, the answer is really not four thousand and two hundred."

Fang Xuanling asked anxiously: "What is it?"

Little whispered chess piece and said, "A ant has seven legs, how many legs are there for six hundred ants? The focus of this question is that an ant has seven legs, not all ants have seven legs."

"Hmm?" Fang Xuanling stopped stroking his beard and stood there like a lightning strike.

Xiao Yizi smiled and said, "So Uncle Fang's answer is wrong."

Fang Xuanling smiled relievedly, "So that's the case. These three stinky brats are really strange."

Xiao Yizi said again: "What is important is the difference between one and six hundred."

Fang Xuanling nodded and said, "I have received teachings."

Xiao Yizi sorted out the chessboard and said, "Actually, this is a question of how to think. Many people see an ant with seven legs and will soon think that the other 600 are also seven legs, but not all ants are the same. Comparing people to ants, not everyone is the same."

Fang Xuanling sighed, "It turns out that this question has such a deep meaning, and everyone is different."

After saying that, Fang Xuanling turned around and said, "I understand, I'm going back now."

Xiao Yizi said again: "Don't Uncle Fang stay for dinner?"

Fang Xuanling said: "No, there are a lot of things in the court."

Little Vinzi came to her senses and looked at the chess board again and started playing chess.

After returning to the court, Fang Xuanling came to the Wude Hall and reported to Li Shimin about the reward for Jingyang.

Li Shimin said: "They are not willing to participate in the imperial examination yet, are they?"

Fang Xuanling bowed and said, "Those children are indeed too young. Besides, now all people with aspirations from all walks of life come to participate in the imperial examination. If the children from Jingyang participate, there will inevitably be a lot of opinions."

Li Shimin took a sip of wine, ate mutton and said, "You also think it is not appropriate for children from Jingyang to attend the imperial examination, right?"

Fang Xuanling also said: "The children in Jingyang do have advantages in other aspects, but those who want to participate in the imperial examination are actually another type of people. The children in Jingyang are still very different from ordinary scholars. The talented people His Majesty wants are not the same type of people."

Li Shimin cut off a piece of meat from the lamb leg with a knife, and seemed to be thinking while eating.

Fang Xuanling said again: "Your Majesty, the imperial examination has been arranged. If there is any change at this moment, it is inappropriate."

Li Shimin chewed the meat in his mouth and said, "You go down first."

"Here."

Fang Xuanling bowed and left.

Walking out of the Wude Hall, Fang Xuanling's heart was mixed.

Du Ruhui walked up and asked, "What did Your Majesty say?"

Fang Xuanling looked back at Wude Hall and said, "Your Majesty didn't say much, he just asked about it. As for what Your Majesty thought, who knows?"

Du Ruhui nodded and said, "What Your Majesty wants is loyalty, and he is the one who serves the country."

Fang Xuanling said sadly: "The five surnames have fallen apart now, and the one who Your Majesty is suspicious of is not the five surnames, but Li Zheng."

Du Ruhui also said: "Li Zheng has no power and no power. Compared with others, Li Zheng has a smaller threat."

Fang Xuanling said: "Li Zheng's threat is really small to His Majesty?"

Du Ruhui said, "It depends on what Your Majesty thinks."

Li Zheng’s Jingyang Academy is independent of Chang'an, and the students he taught are not used by His Majesty, which is what Li Shimin least wants to see.

Whether it is the big bull, Di Renjie, or Pei Xingjian.

There are too many talents around Li Zheng.

Although there are many capable people in the court today, Li Shimin wants more than these. What Li Shimin wants is the next generation of talents and the next generation of young people to serve the country.

But these talents are all in Li Zheng's hands. I don't know when these people around Li Zheng have become rare talents.

Just like Wang Xuance and Xue Rengui now, they all saw their abilities in the court.

These talents in Jingyang are different from those in Chang'an. The powerful and powerful children are from generals and have good wealth.

The talents in Li Zheng's hands are all innocent and talented people like a piece of white paper. Such talented people are also what Li Shimin longs for.

East Palace

Li Chengqian listened to Changsun Wuji's story.

Changsun Wuji said: "The children in Jingyang will definitely reject His Majesty, because the children in Jingyang are different from many people."

"How is it different?" Li Chengqian nodded and asked.
