Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 178

His Royal Highness the King of Jin is full of knowledge!

His Royal Highness the King of Jin is an amazing talent!

King Jin will win! King Jin will win! King Jin will win!

One after another, some people who had also broken through the barrier came and stood in front of the table.

Among them were scholars and scholars from other places, as well as literati who had failed in Beijing but did not leave, as well as scribes from the Hanlin Academy, and even outstanding figures from various academies in the capital.

Many people came, and the tables were added one after another, until the final number was fixed at sixty-four people.

Some originally wanted to participate, but when they saw King Jin was there, they backed down. Otherwise, more people would participate.

After all, this is an opportunity to show one's face and be noticed by the emperor. Everyone wants to be that person who soars into the sky and is the most talented person in the capital.

In the Furong Lantern Tower, Emperor Mingde asked, "Among all the princes, only the youngest is here?"

Eunuch Qi bent down and replied, "Back to the emperor, the slave is thinking that the one with the old man's mask should be His Royal Highness. The one with the King of Hell mask on the far side is not sure which His Highness it is. And the shortest one wearing the pig head mask should be It must be His Highness Ninth Prince.”

"Hmph!" Emperor Mingde was dissatisfied, "Everyone else knows how to wear a mask, but he is afraid that the people will not know that he is the King of Jin! With such a big fanfare, if he can't pass the test, he will lose my face, and I can't spare him!"

Eunuch Qi smiled and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Seeing that His Highness is full of confidence, he must be fully prepared. He is determined to win!"

Emperor Mingde looked worried. "With his little knowledge, what can he prepare..." He paused for a moment, his eyes darkened, "Who in the Imperial Guard Department is in charge of the level-breaking activities?"

Eunuch Qi replied, "It should be Mr. Liu. Your Majesty, don't worry, Mr. Liu is famous for being selfless and will never do anything disrespectful."

"This is the best." Emperor Mingde raised his eyes lightly and saw the person in charge of the lantern riddle game in Furong Tower appeared.

But with a wave of his hand, a delicate and beautiful lantern rotated and slowly fell from the lantern tower, and finally fell into his hand.

The manager took out the riddle from the lantern and read it loudly without any unnecessary nonsense, "When drawing, it is round, when writing, it is square. It is warm if it is not cool. Type a word."

The riddle was passed down by the person in charge, and then passed back and forth several times by people from the Weihuang Department to prevent the person answering the question from hearing it.

Such a circle, even the common people heard it and asked, "What is this word?"

"Quiet! Quiet! Don't disturb the puzzle solver!"

The puzzle solver started writing answers.

Xiao Sheng quickly wrote the answer: day. Signed: King Jin.

Someone came to collect the answers one by one and gathered them in the hands of the supervisor. Then the answer was announced: Day.

Everyone was stunned. When drawing the sun, it is round, and when it is written in characters, it is square. It is warm when the sun is shining and cool when the sun is not shining. Isn't it just the word "日"?

After the first riddle ended, a bunch of people who wrote the wrong answers were wiped out, leaving only forty people.

To be honest, this question is not difficult, and many people have guessed it. Those who answered incorrectly also did not perform well on the spot and did not think of it for a moment.

When the mystery is revealed, everyone will beat their chests and stamp their feet, and be enlightened.

The next questions became more and more difficult, and many people continued to answer them one after another.

The tenth question is a couplet. The first couplet is: Freezing rain falls on the window, two o'clock in the east and three o'clock in the west.

After about half a stick of incense had passed, the manager sounded the gongs and drums behind him to remind them that it was time to answer questions.

This time, the manager said, "I won't accept the questions and answer them one by one."

King Jin had already finished writing. He raised a confident smile, stood with his hands behind his hands, and looked at the full moon above his head, "The wooden logs used to build a house have eight curved roots and four straight ones."

The manager smiled and nodded, feeling that it was right.

Someone among the people shouted, "His Royal Highness the King of Jin is so talented!"

Someone followed from behind: His Highness the King of Jin is the crown prince in the capital!

His Royal Highness the King of Jin is a blockbuster!

King Jin will win!

Emperor Mingde frowned, "Is there a hook?"
