Chapter 114: Strange and Lustful Techniques
All the ministers were delighted, he was going to be a marquis!
The official ranks in the Great Chu are divided into duke, marquis, earl, viscount and baron. Even if all the civil and military officials in the house work hard all their lives, how many of them can become a marquis with ten thousand households?
But when they looked at the couplet again, they were upset again.
Although the emperor's reward was very good, the couplet Chen Changan came up with was really difficult.
Cheng Qinghe had an anxious look on his face and thought of several couplets in succession.
Rotten tungsten?
The five elements on the left side are correct, but how come Lan and Wu are positive and negative?
偍飞?
Right and wrong have become positive and negative, but how can humans and insects be the five elements?
Will not work!
That's right...
Turtle!
Correct!
Chen Changan is a bastard!
The so-called eternal absolute means that no one has been able to match it from ancient times to the present. Why do you come up with such a couplet? Are you trying to make fun of us?
Cheng Qinghe was quite smart as he immediately threw the difficult problem to Huxue College.
"Your Majesty, I believe that the title of Marquis is awarded to the Imperial College. How can we compete for the credit?"
"Dean Li, Master Chen has already given the questions, right?"
All the ministers nodded.
Cheng Qinghe's statement was so brilliant that it cleared up their relationship!
Li Desheng's nose was almost crooked from anger!
Seeing Cheng Qinghe standing aside as if it had nothing to do with him, Li Desheng really wanted to say,
...Thank you so much to your whole family!
Just now you were all eager to try, as if Chen Changan was your common enemy. What happened now?
If you had known this, you shouldn't have been so pretentious!
Xiang Yingyu scratched her face with her index finger and laughed disdainfully: "Shame on you, shame on you, if you don't match, just say it. Why make Dean Li embarrassed himself?"
Cheng Qinghe's face turned red and he tried to argue.
"Your Highness, it's not that I can't do it. I just can't do it for the sake of the Imperial Academy's reputation."
Xiang Yingyou sneered and was about to speak, but the emperor turned around and looked at her.
Chen Changan still has to serve as an official in the court. If he offends everyone, it will be detrimental to his career.
"What Mr. Cheng said makes sense. Please shut up."
The emperor looked at Li Desheng and said, "Li Desheng, if you have a second line, please say it. We are all busy and it is getting late."
The whole place was in silence, waiting for Li Desheng's opinion.
Li Desheng didn't dare to offend Cheng Qinghe. He looked at Tong Bailiang and all the students in Hu College...
But his students all sighed and obviously had no suitable way to deal with it.
Li Desheng could only sigh: "Your Majesty, this couplet by the champion is unprecedented in history and the Academy cannot match it."
"I ask the emperor to order the number one scholar to come to Hu Academy to study poetry. I will do my best to cultivate a rare talent for the Great Chu!"
Cheng Qinghe looked ugly!
What do you mean? Are you training Chen Changan to be our enemy?
Li Desheng felt very happy!
If you can't beat them, join them!
As long as they can get Chen Changan, they will be able to move forward courageously in the next Imperial College Competition!
This deal is really worth it!
Although the students of Hu College were unhappy, they all understood what the dean meant and knelt down with him.
"I beg the emperor to order the number one scholar to go to Huxue College!"
"The talent of the top scholar is rare in this life!"
He prayed so loudly that his voice reached the sky.
The emperor laughed heartily, he naturally understood Li Desheng's intention.
He shook his head slightly: "What Li Qing said does make sense, but today is the Imperial College Competition, and other things can be discussed later."
"Let me ask you, can this round be considered as Chen Changan's victory?"
The emperor speaks very skillfully.
He said that Chen Changan won, but did not mention the name of the School of Engineering. It was not shameful for them to lose to the top scholar.
Li Desheng kowtowed: "The number one scholar is a genius, he is the reincarnation of Wenquxing, Huxue admits defeat!"
Lost!
Li Desheng admitted that he was not as good as Chen Changan!
The School of Engineering was immediately filled with cheers, and most of the students at the Imperial College applauded Chen Changan.
Amazing!
Chen Changan single-handedly left the two major factions of the Etiquette College and the Household College speechless. It seemed that only Lu Fengsheng many years ago could have achieved such a feat!
Can today's Chen Changan replicate history?
Luo Qianfan glanced at Chen Zhan, sneered and stood up.
"The School of Engineering won two games by chance, because the two major schools of Household and Etiquette are located at the end of the Imperial College."
"Even if you defeat them, what do you have to be proud of?"
The students from the School of Engineering all gritted their teeth and looked at Luo Qianfan with resentment in their eyes.
The School of Engineering, which has been ranked at the bottom for years, can beat two colleges fairly. Doesn’t this speak volumes?
Luo Qianfan, don’t be too obvious about your favoritism!
Luo Qianfan waved his folding fan and said to the other three colleges: "The School of Engineering only knows strange and lewd skills, which are not up to par. How can they compete with elegant things such as poetry and songs?"
"If it weren't for the tradition that has been passed down for thousands of years, would the Imperial College still have a place for an engineering school?"
Luo Qianfan directed his criticism at the School of Engineering, and all the students were furious.
After they graduated from the Imperial College, the official positions they held were indeed not high, and Luo Qianfan was the vice-president, so they could only endure it when he called them good-for-nothings.
Zhu Zigeng was holding back his anger and wanted to say something, but he couldn't refute.
Chen Changan was a little unhappy: "Vice President Luo, from what you said, it seems that you look down on the School of Engineering?"
"What qualifications do you have to make me look up to you?" Luo Qianfan looked at Chen Changan arrogantly.
"Just because you are the top scholar?"
Chen Changan stood up straight, not afraid of Luo Qianfan at all: "Of course not, but I don't agree with what Vice President Luo said."
"The engineering school invented the mortise and tenon joint structure, which enabled the architecture of the imperial palace to be preserved, highlighting the majesty of the royal family, enhancing the image of the royal family, and boosting the confidence of the people."
"If it weren't for these so-called strange and erotic techniques, would His Majesty need to handle state affairs in a thatched cottage?"
The emperor nodded repeatedly, and Luo Qianfan's face turned red.
"I didn't say that. Don't bring this up and involve the royal family!"
"Then let's not talk about architecture." Chen Changan didn't care. "Do you know who invented the toilet?"
"Without our engineering school's unique skills, you would probably still be squatting in the toilet. Isn't this taking advantage of the engineering school's technology while smashing our pot?"
"The Institute of Technology invented the compass. How important is this to marching?"
“In terms of embroidery technology, how many stitches does the Institute of Technology have and how much has it stimulated people’s livelihood?”
"There are so many things like this, too many to count!"
"I admit that poetry and prose have made indelible contributions to national pride and identity, but the erotic techniques created the foundation of poetry."
“If the foundation is gone, poetry and songs will only become a laughing stock!
A bunch of literati moaning for no reason, just to amuse themselves!"
"Think about it, all of you, think about it carefully, what did I say wrong?"
Chen Changan responded sharply, and finally sneered: "Don't say that every aspect is inseparable from the strange and lewd skills, even if it is you, Vice Dean Luo..."
"Oh, isn't it also created by your parents' strange and lewd skills?"
"What qualifications do you have to look down on the Institute of Technology?"
When Chen Changan said this, everyone shuddered.
Oh my god, the top scholar...
How dare you say that!
