The subordinate didn't know how to answer, so he smiled awkwardly, and finally sighed: "Sir, you'd better go and see for yourself."
Li Shou came to the Imperial College angrily and saw a large group of people holding papers and drawing continuously on them.
Li Shou was furious and shouted: "What are you doing?"
"grown ups?"
"grown ups."
"grown ups!"
Seeing the Lord Jijiu coming, everyone stood up and saluted.
Li Shou walked into the group of students, glanced at them with a sullen face, bowed and picked up a piece of paper and frowned at the messy lines drawn on it.
"What are you doing?"
"Sir, these are the questions that Yu Qian applied for. He threatened that if anyone can solve them, he will give up participating in the academy selection." Seeing Master Jijiu's face getting more and more ugly, the speaker didn't understand what was going on, and the voice of his voice He involuntarily shrank, "Don't you want us to stop Yu Qian? I'm thinking, if this problem can be solved, wouldn't it mean that Yu Qian's hope of applying will be dashed?"
Li Shou frowned when he heard this. He crumpled the paper into a ball with his fingers and threw it to the ground. He said angrily: "I want you to sow discord between Yu Qian and other people in the academy and destroy the academy's reward." When did you stop Yu Qian? Is it useful to stop him? Even if you can stop one Yu Qian, wouldn't there be other Zhang Qian and Wang Qian? "
"You don't even think about it. Even the other people in the academy can't solve the problem. How can you solve it by yourself?"
I don't blame Shou-chang Li for letting others' ambitions destroy his own prestige. It's really the Imperial College that emphasizes classics and history and neglects miscellaneous studies. Mathematics is never taught seriously at all, and students are left to learn on their own.
Since the academy and the Imperial Academy competed with each other, the Imperial Academy even once denounced the learning in the academy as deviant and strictly prohibited the students of the Imperial Academy from studying.
Under such circumstances, do you want to solve a problem that even so many people in the academy cannot solve? What are you dreaming about?
"This, this, sir, what should I do?"
Li Shou raised his head and glanced at the speaker, and said angrily: "Since the people in the academy can't figure it out, then you won't use it to your advantage?"
"That's right! We can continue to fan the flames. Your Majesty is very wise."
...
Yu Qian's question was not only circulated in the market, but also spread to the palace.
"How's the situation outside these days?" Zhu Yunye was tired from reviewing the memorials. He took a sip of ginseng tea and wanted to find out some interesting things while resting to change his mind.
The eunuch next to him had already prepared a report. He bowed and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, you don't know. It's very lively outside these days."
"Oh? Let me guess, it's not related to the academy, right?" Zhu Yunye said with a smile while moving the tea lid, listening to the pleasant sound.
Although he gave Li Shou 50,000 yuan a year, it was obviously not enough to calm the turmoil. In fact, from that time on, Zhu Yunye knew that the conflict between the Imperial College and the Academy was far from over. It was just that he was too busy these days and did not have time to take care of both sides.
The eunuch quickly bowed and smiled and replied: "Your Majesty Ming Ming Wan Li, it is indeed related to the academy..."
Immediately, the eunuch briefly told the emperor what had happened these days. From the time Yu Qian announced his participation in the selection, to the raging public sentiment, and now after Yu Qian announced the topic, the reactions of all parties.
Zhu Yunye originally thought it was just a matter between the Academy and the Imperial College, but Yu Qian unexpectedly came unexpectedly. And the title was announced, which is interesting.
"What exactly is the topic?"
"I heard that you can draw a regular heptagon using only a ruler and ruler."
Zhu Yunye was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and subconsciously wanted to say that it was too easy, but when he saw the eunuch's expression, he suppressed his original words and asked with a smile: "What? Is this question difficult?"
The eunuch suddenly became energetic, his eyes were filled with excitement, and he quickly replied: "It's difficult! It's simply too difficult! Does your Majesty know that originally?
Everyone thought this question was easy, but when everyone started to draw it, they realized that it was not that difficult. "
"Well, it's been many days, and no one in the academy has been able to draw it until now. I heard that many gentlemen were exhausted mentally and physically because of it and had to give up."
"So powerful?" Zhu Yunye couldn't help but change his lying posture and sit up straight.
When it comes to mathematics, academies are the best in the world.
Even the gentlemen in the academy are exhausted mentally and physically and can't figure it out, so one can imagine the difficulty involved.
After thinking about it, Zhu Yunye couldn't help but feel a little moved. He raised his head and said, "Go, bring me a ruler, compass and paper."
"Yes." Seeing the emperor's interest, the eunuch quickly turned around to get something.
Zhu Yunye looked at the white paper spread out on the royal desk, holding a ruler and compass in his hand, and muttered in a low voice: "How to draw a regular seventeen-sided polygon? It should be like this..."
When he had an idea, Zhu Yunye immediately took action.
But after a moment, he shook his head and gave up the idea, "No, no, it's not like this, it should be like this..."
The eunuch looked at the emperor like this, from relaxed and carefree at first, to a serious look on his face, to a fierce look in his eyes.
The eunuchs were frightened by the transformation of the emperor, and they called out softly with worried faces: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty?"
"What's wrong?" Zhu Yunye turned around suddenly and stared at the eunuch with red eyes.
The eunuch's legs went weak, and he fell to his knees on the ground. He looked frightened and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please take care of your dragon body..."
Only then did Zhu Yunye come back to his senses, and took a few deep breaths to slowly calm down.
He turned his head to look at the eunuch who was still kneeling on the ground, smiled and said, "Get up, I feel sorry for you."
"This slave is not wronged. As long as the emperor can do well, my death is worth it." The eunuch said as he stood up.
Zhu Yunye nodded slightly, keeping this in mind, and then turned his attention to drawing.
After a few breaths, Zhu Yunye let out a long sigh: "I asked for it too urgently."
Zhu Yunye shook his head, even though there were so many gentlemen in the academy who couldn't solve it, he was stuck in it for a while, and that's why he thought about solving it. The mathematics ability of the gentlemen in the academy is definitely better than his, and Zhu Yunye is self-aware of this.
But...even though I can't figure it out myself, my mother should be fine, right?
Zhu Yunye suddenly thought of his mother, his eyes lit up, and he immediately said: "I haven't been able to spend some time with my mother, please."
"Yes." Although the eunuch wondered why the emperor suddenly thought of going to see the empress dowager, he still responded immediately.
