My elder sister is so noble, this time it's my turn to strike back
Chapter 78: Mathematics, Beyond the Syllabus
Xiao Yuzhi untied the cloth in front of him, held up the Linglong Fang in his hand and slowly turned it so that everyone could see it clearly.
For a moment, there were constant sounds of gasps and discussions.
Surprise and unexpectedness filled the hearts of every Daxia person. Everyone had a wonderful feeling, that is, it was an honor for the Sixth Prince to be a prince of our dynasty.
Seeing Xiao Yuzhi blindfolded and solved the Linglong Formula that even Zhou Wu had been studying for an entire incense stick and still couldn't figure out, everyone was undoubtedly shocked. At the same time, they also felt a strong sense of pride.
"Hahahaha, so this so-called Linglong Fang is nothing more than this. His Highness the Sixth Prince is extremely talented. He didn't even need to take a look at it. He figured it out with his eyes blindfolded. In my opinion, this thing is not a divine weapon at all. It's just a toy for a three-year-old child." A bearded official touched his chin and laughed.
The other officials also echoed this, saying that the Linglong Fang, which Chu Shaochen regarded as a treasure, was worthless.
Emperor Shengjing was in a good mood. He laughed a few times, said some polite words, and then turned to ask Chu Shaochen:
"According to the rules we just agreed upon, this round is two-on-one. If Crown Prince Chu loses, he can have an extra round. Excuse me, Crown Prince Chu, would you like to use this privilege next?"
At this moment, Chu Shaochen's expression was so ugly that it was hard to describe it.
As confident and arrogant as he was just now, he now looks as ugly and embarrassed.
However, he was very unwilling to admit defeat, so when Emperor Shengjing suggested adding another round, he agreed without hesitation.
"Since the Great Xia Emperor has extended such a cordial invitation, it is difficult for this Crown Prince to refuse. Then, let's follow the Great Xia Emperor's words and try one more round."
After he finished speaking, he looked directly at Xiao Yuzhi and said, "In this round, this prince specifically asks your country's Sixth Prince to come down and break the deadlock. Are you willing to agree?"
Xiao Yuzhi had already gained some confidence after the previous rounds. If nothing unexpected happened, according to Aunt Qiu Ning's speculation, the Crown Prince of Chu would probably challenge him in a math contest next.
It doesn't matter. He has made up a lot of math knowledge these days, especially with some booklets that Aunt Qiu Ning found from somewhere, which contain explanations of many sample questions.
He has mastered the relevant algorithms for math problems such as chickens and rabbits in the same cage and rice on a chessboard.
"As the prince of Daxia, I enjoy the support of the people of the world. At such a critical moment, even if it means going through fire and water, I will do my best to accept it. No matter what the prince wants to compete with, I will accept it."
Such a domineering and moving speech made all the officials tremble and straighten their backs subconsciously.
With the previous victories, everyone now unconditionally believed from the bottom of their hearts that the Sixth Prince would be invincible and defeat the Crown Prince of Chu.
Chu Shaochen's face was icy cold, his eyes fixed on Xiao Yuzhi. His cold yet confident voice echoed throughout the hall.
"Sixth Prince, listen carefully. This Crown Prince's question is: There is a cage with a certain number of chickens and rabbits in it. Counting from the top, there are sixty. Counting from the bottom, there are two hundred. How many chickens and rabbits are there?"
As Chu Shaochen's voice rang out, everyone present frowned and thought carefully.
"Chickens and rabbits are in the same cage. Their heads total sixty, and their legs two hundred. How many chickens and rabbits are there?"
Everyone looked at each other in confusion.
Most of the seven kingdoms at that time were interested in Confucianism, poetry, or martial arts, and very few people delved into mathematics.
This kind of question is undoubtedly beyond the scope of the curriculum for everyone.
"Disaster!"
"too difficult!"
"This is totally unheard of!"
"Sixty heads, two hundred feet. According to my calculations, I'd have to list them one by one from one to sixty, but there's obviously not enough time."
"..."
Everyone was shaking their heads and sighing, thinking that Da Xia was probably going to lose this round.
Even Emperor Shengjing frowned, thinking that he was careless this time. A question of this difficulty, let alone Xiaoliu, is likely to be solved by few people in the entire seven countries.
He couldn't help but look at Xiao Yuzhi worriedly.
Seeing this, Wan Rongyue, who was standing by, comforted him, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I believe Zhi'er will figure it out."
Having said that, Emperor Shengjing couldn't help but look at the competition arena frequently, hoping that Xiaoliu could surprise him again.
Xiao Yuche had no idea when he returned to his position and tried his best to minimize his presence.
Fortunately, I ran fast, otherwise I would be the one standing there and embarrassing myself.
What kind of perverted questions are these? Linglong Fang, chicken and rabbit, he feels like his brain is going to grow a little bit.
The Prince of Chu is truly gifted and extraordinary, he is beyond the reach of ordinary people. You can’t afford to offend him, you can’t afford to offend him.
Xiao Yuche shouted in his heart.
Everyone present was discussing the problem among themselves. Even Zhou Wu, who had studied mathematics quite deeply, frowned as if he could kill a fly. He felt the difficulty of this problem.
He had listened to lectures by great mathematical scholars from various countries before, but he had never seen such a strange question.
A chicken and a rabbit are locked in a cage together, and the problem is solved using the number of heads and feet. It makes no sense at all. How can this be solved?
Everyone looked at Xiao Yuzhi worriedly.
"Sixth Prince, what do you think of this question of mine? Is it possible to solve it?"
Chu Shaochen's voice suddenly rang out, carrying a hint of arrogance. He looked at Xiao Yuzhi with an arrogant expression.
Xiao Yuzhi glanced at Chu Shaochen with a strange look in his eyes. Then he couldn't help but sigh:
"This question is really difficult, it's beyond the scope of the syllabus!"
Chu Shaochen felt happy when he heard this. This time, I can finally stump you. He raised his head and said:
"That's right. If the Sixth Prince admits defeat, this Crown Prince..."
"What does the Crown Prince want? Do you want to kneel down and admit defeat in public and take me as your master?" Xiao Yuzhi said in front of Chu Shaochen.
As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the audience was shocked!
Everyone widened their eyes and looked at the Sixth Prince in disbelief.
How dare you make the Crown Prince of Chu kneel down and worship the Sixth Prince as his teacher!
However, whenever I think about it, I feel inexplicably excited. Why?
While everyone was grumbling in their hearts, Emperor Shengjing pretended to scold them, "Don't be rude! What is the status of the Crown Prince of Chu? How can you let him kneel down and worship you? He even wants to worship you as his teacher. Don't be so rude!"
However, Xiao Yuzhi argued: "Father, it is said that guests from afar should follow the host's wishes. But I clearly saw that when the Crown Prince of Chu met you, he did not kneel and bow to you according to the etiquette of our Great Xia. Now he has taken the initiative to propose a competition of poetry, prose, and mechanical skills, and now he wants me to solve this unprecedented problem.
"This humble son is willing to make an offer to the Crown Prince of Chu. How about we both make concessions? If this son can solve this puzzle, then the Crown Prince of Chu and his entourage will bow down to you according to the etiquette of our dynasty. Is that okay?"
