Qianlong was an emperor with both virtue and ability, both civil and military. But as the saying goes, no gold can be pure, no one can be perfect. Qianlong had a weakness: love to show himself.
One day, when the court was dispersed, Emperor Qianlong deliberately left behind Liu Yong and Ji Xiaolan and asked, "Two dear friends, do you know who has the most knowledge in the world?"
Liu Yong heard this and said in his heart, who has the most knowledge in the world? He has never examined it, and has never compared it. Who knows? well! It’s hard to explain if you don’t know! Just when he was in trouble, Ji Xiaolan answered: "In my opinion, the most knowledgeable person in the world is Your Majesty."
Qianlong nodded confidently.
Liu Yong's brain is really alive, and the listen-taking words come out: "Not to mention today, I just thought about ancient literati, I can compare with you, or say that a steamed bun is not even half apart."
after hearing this, Qianlong heard it and got a higher pot. After rubbing for a few times, he said with a smile: "I plan to go outside the city to try it to see if anyone can do anything to save me."
Qianlong is going to go, who dares to defeat Liu Yong or Ji Xiaolan!
answered in unison: "Okay, okay, it's time to try it, so that everyone in the world knows it."
After Liu and Ji left, Qianlong made up his makeup, brought some things he needed, and left the imperial city.
Qianlong came to a prosperous place and set up a stall on the spot. He picked a piece of red cloth with a bamboo pole on the stall with four big words written on it: "Ask if you have any questions", even if it is a brand.
Qianlong had just set up a stall here, and an old man opposite him also set up a stall. I also picked a piece of red cloth with a bamboo pole on the stall, but the cloth was not written on it, but "ask questions and answers".
Qianlong saw it and frowned. He said in his heart, he was so brave, and he also wanted to sing a stage drama with me! Just as he thought of this, the old man added a few words below: "If you answer something wrong, you will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver."
Qianlong saw it and became popular! He also picked up the pen and added a few words under the "If you have any questions, please give me a reward of 200 taels of silver."
Qianlong had just finished writing here, and before he turned around, the old man had already arrived in front of his stall, took a photo of the stall and said, "I'll ask me something first!"
Qianlong hurriedly turned his face and said, "Okay, if there is anything that can't be made clear, just ask!"
The old man looked at Qianlong and asked, "Ask a question, please give me 200 taels of silver. Is this true?"
Qianlong replied disapprovingly, "After a word, it's hard to chase!" The old man " "I laughed, and then asked again, "If you can't catch up, will you be over?"
Qianlong said impatiently, "If you have any questions, ask, leave if you don't ask, don't talk too much!"
The old man squinted Qianlong's eyes and said, "Look at your appearance, don't look like you are rich, are you carrying it?"
Qianlong said indifferently, "As long as you can stump me, you will be able to lose your money."
The old man nodded and asked, "Why is the sky blue? Why is the earth round? "
"This..." Qianlong didn't know what to answer for a moment. Thanks to Qianlong, his mind turned around: "The sky blue is dyed with Queen Mother , and the earth is rolled with roundness by Queen Mother with a pin. If you don't believe it, go to the sky to ask!" This is really evident.
The old man said slowly, "This, I want to ask you, why are the sun, moon and stars not stained, why are the rooftop halls and halls not flattened?"
Qianlong calmed down and replied, "The sun, moon and stars are managed by Jade Emperor , not called dyeing. The rooftop halls and halls are the residence of the emperor, not called rolling."
The old man said, "Everyone knows that the top is big, the top is big, the bottom is big, I don't know where the sky is dyed, where the earth is rolled, where the dyeing utensils are placed, and the rolling pin is stored?"
At the moment, Qianlong felt like he had a hot eggplant in his mouth, and he just pulled his tongue and couldn't speak.
The old man smiled and said, "Six things are in the past and after, one thousand two hundred taels." When Qianlong was about to say something, the old man snatched up and said, "I'll talk randomly later, I have something to ask."
Since Qianlong said something, he couldn't help but ask someone: "Okay, just ask."
The old man stroked his beard and said, "I'll ask you again, how do you hold this donkey dung egg? How did this mess with melon shreds? How do you play willow velvet? "
When Qianlong heard this, his lips seemed to have a buckle stuck on his bladder and he couldn't open it. In his heart, this person was so awkward. He didn't ask about the Five Classics, Four Books, and the Hundred Schools of Thoughts. He asked this! Answer, lacking roots and lacking evidence; if he didn't answer, losing money is small, and losing money is big. Then...oh, there is. The blind man hoeed the ground and pounded it. By the way, he was decent and did not lose money. The pound was wrong. The mule had run away. When he thought of this, he said calmly: "What's the difficulty? The donkey's dung egg is held by the donkey's butt; the melon shredded melon seeds are wrapped by the melon seeds; the willow velvet is played by the willow buds! "
The old man said: "Only you can hold your hands if you have hands. Do you have hands on the donkey's butt? "
Qianlong lowered his head and said, "This..." The old man made a gesture and said, "Only if there is a crutch can you get entangled. Can you get a crutch if you stir up the melon seeds?
Qianlong stretched out his neck and said, "Well..." The old man looked away and said, "Only with a bow can you bounce, but there is a bow on the willow bud?"
Qianlong was asked so much that he could only say nothing.
The old man clapped his hands and said, "Another one thousand two, give it to me!"
Qianlong never expected that he would squat, let alone bring money, he didn't even have a small copper coin. Give it, give it nothing! Alas, thirty-six strategies, leaving is the best strategy. He took advantage of the old man's inattention and counted wild deer's legs.
Qianlong came to the palace and hurriedly asked someone to find Liu Yong and Ji Xiaolan, and talk about the situation today in detail from beginning to end, and then asked: "Two my dear friends, how should we answer these things?"
or Ji Xiaolan came quickly: "I say to Your Majesty, you just use "× to make it happen" for these things. For example, if he asks the sky, you say the angel, and asks the earth, you say the earth to make it happen... In short, if he asks, you say the silence, and you say the earth to make it happen, and you make it happen. It is guaranteed that it is right."
Qianlong counted the numbers, muttered, and said with a smile: "Why didn't I remember this sentence!"
Three people just said this, Hearing someone coming from outside, he was muttering: "As the emperor today, he is really unkind and righteous in his work. If he loses money, he will run away. Let's see where you hide!"
Qianlong looked through the crack in the door and said, "It's this person!" Before the two of them could see it, the man had already arrived at Jinluan Hall and coughed twice, "I have something to ask..."
Qianlong thought he had the magic weapon of "× make it so" and said in his heart: I'm not afraid of getting rid of your mouth, just ask... Liu Yong thought to himself: Three cobblers, one is better than one Zhuge Liang , we have three monarchs and ministers, but we don't have to beat him, but you can tell me.
Ji Xiaolan thought: "Come here to ask, it's really a push cart to move forward. You've come to the teaching (foot) basket.
The old man scratched his face and said, "It's easy to ask first. Why is the emperor's seat called Longdun? "
Qianlong, don't look at him memorizing a lot of Tang poetry, Song lyrics and Chinese articles. As for why the person sitting under his butt is called Long Dun, he has never thought about it. He replied in a silly manner: "Because I am a dragon body and often squat on it, so I am called Long Squat." Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered the words taught by Ji Xiaolan and quickly added: "Squat to make it happen. "Qianlong said that, and felt something was wrong, so he winked at Liu Yong and asked him to answer.
Liu Yong saw it and hurriedly explained, "Because my Majesty's reign is Qianlong, no, the zodiac sign is dragon, as for why it is called Dun..." He looked at Ji Xiaolan and said, "My Lord Ji, what do you think? "
Ji Xiaolan heard this and said to himself, Lord Liu, you are really good at doing things. You can't squat, you must ask me to squat. He can't push it anymore, so he said, "Why is this Long Dun Dun called a Dun? There is no legs in the seat of the tundra, so why is it called a tundra? For example, this horse has legs and is called a horse, and the legs are also called a horse! ”
The old man sat on Long Shu's desk and said, "It's time to slap this thing under his butt." "
Ji Xiaolan was speechless and speechless. The old man said, "I still have something unknown and need to ask."
Qianlong said: "I don't know what else, come on, I'm so happy to answer! "
The old man said, "This royal family is inseparable from each other. What is the reason? "
When Qianlong heard this, he raised his eyes and asked: "Our royal family is the king, the distance is the minister, the father is the father, the son is the son, and the queen, concubine, concubine, and slave are all listed. How can we say that we have no distinction between human ethics? "
The old man said seriously: "You emperors all call themselves the emperor..."
Liu Yong said: "It's the emperor, it's true at all! "
The old man said, "Emperor, the emperor, isn't the pride of heaven?" "
Ji Xiaolan said: "That's not bad? "
The old man said sternly: " Shunzhi is the emperor, Kangxi is the emperor, Yongzheng is the emperor, and today you are the emperor again. You are all the sons of God, aren’t you the same generation? How can we talk about whether this grandparents and grandchildren are divided into different personalities? "
The three Qianlong rulers and ministers, look at me, I see you, the child fell and lost his wooden wrist and couldn't find the words (porcelain).
The old man said, "There are still many things, don't ask anymore, come quickly and get the money, I'm leaving." "
In the blink of an eye, the old man didn't see where the old man went. I saw a post on the ground with four sentences on it:
Qianlong Liu Yong Ji Xiaolan,
What ability do you have to sell crazy words?
Shenzhou Wenyuan is deep and unfinished,
To know one or two will take a hundred years.
Signature is Taibai Jinxing
Three people read it , did not dare to say anything else, quickly knelt down, bowed to the room a few times, and prayed:
has been checked several times today,
only realized that his talent was simple,
thanks the immortal for his advice,
guaranteed not to be complacent anymore.
It is said that " Siku Quanshu " was compiled by Qi Long after he enlightened him.
