Fifty-eight, a bet is sure to win or lose

When they woke up, the first reactions of the judges Hepingqiao No. 2 Middle School were: Is it fake? How could anyone in this world recite "Old Book of Tang"?

If you can recite "Mencius", it is somewhat possible for Du's poems and even "Records of the Grand Historian". After all, these are commonly used books, and they are famous throughout the ages and are indeed worth memorizing.??                                                                                                 

The girl with thin lips couldn't help but jump out: "Judge, referee, he is talking nonsense! Just think about it, everyone knows, how could anyone in this world be so familiar with "Old Book of Tang"? Obviously, he deliberately fabricated evidence to defend our views and falsely claimed it was from "Old Book of Tang". The truth of the matter must be like this! Judge, referee, please investigate and punish this matter seriously and strictly punish it to serve as a warning to others!"

It is still time for the competition, and any inappropriate actions may leave a negative impression on the judges, which will affect the final score. Therefore, Jiang Shuiyuan just smiled and did not stand up to refute. However, in the eyes of the girl with thin lips, laughter also became evidence of the crime: "Judge, referee, you see that he is still laughing, you must have forced a smile to hide his guilt!"

Sister, can’t I laugh anymore? If I don’t laugh, would I have to cry? I’m afraid that if I really have to cry, it will become another evidence of your mouth! Jiang Shuiyuan complained.

"Student, are you very familiar with "Old Book of Tang"?" Chu Hanyi asked.

As a doctoral student of the Han and Tang Confucianism Exhibition, Chu Hanyi read the "Old Book of Tang" many times when writing his paper. To be fair, he still had a shallow understanding of the "Old Book of Tang". Even the few words quoted by the river water source are not in the "Old Book of Tang", and the words are in the "Bill of Xuanzong" or the "Five Elements Records", let alone memorizing the full text!

Seeing the judges asking, Jiang Shuiyuan then stood up and answered truthfully, "Is that okay? I've roughly seen it."

When Chen Shuang, Fu Shouzhang and others breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Jiang Shuiyuan's answer. They knew that with Jiang Shuiyuan's national academic achievements, it would be difficult for ordinary people to distinguish them! Now that he has read it once, it should not be fabricated out of thin air. Because for him, reading it once is basically equivalent to reciting it skillfully.

But others don't think so:

"Just read it once?" the girl with thin lips screamed sternly, "Dear judges, referees, have you heard it? He said he had only read it once! Although I have not read the "Old Book of Tang", I can also imagine that it is a big book with hundreds of volumes. If you read it once, you can casually say that there was a famine in a certain year, month, and place. Do you believe it? This is not intentional fabrication, what else can it be?"

"You can't do it by the other party, it doesn't mean that others can't do it either. Just like you haven't read "Old Book of Tang", have no one else read it?" Chen Di said coldly.

The girl with thin lips was choked and rolled her eyes.

When Chu Hanyi heard Jiang Shuiyuan say that he had only read the "Old Book of Tang" once, he was also full of doubts. At this time, he took the opportunity to ask about what he knew: "Student, how many volumes does "Old Book of Tang" have? How many other formats are there?"

This question is targeted. Everyone knows that Sima Qian's "Records of the Grand Historian" is divided into twelve annals, ten tables, eight books, thirty aristocratic families, and seventy biographies according to the format. Among them, the general and biographies are the main body, so this format is also called the "record style". Later, the official history of all dynasties has been written with reference to this format, but it is different. For example, "The Three Kingdoms", "The Liang Book", "The Chen Book" and other only have general scripts, and "The Song Book", "The Southern Qi Book", "The Wei Book" have three formats: generics, biographies, and record. In addition to the generics, biographies, and record, the Jin Book also created a new format called "Records". If you have not carefully read this type of historical book, it is really difficult to tell how many of them are.

The river water source was in its heart and replied nonsense: "If I remember correctly, the "Old Book of Tang" has 20 volumes, including 20 volumes of the Annals, 30 volumes of the Annals and 15 volumes of the Biography."

Zhou Zhihu turned his face and asked in a low voice: "Dr. Chu, is this student right?"

“Yes, right, but…”

From the proficient number and format of this boy's book, it is not difficult to see that he has indeed read "Old Book of Tang", but he can be so skilled that he can quote it casually? No matter how you think about this kind of thing, it is a bit weird, at least Chu Hanyi himself can't do it. But just like what the girl just refuted, you can't do it, it doesn't mean that others can't do it either. So for a moment, Chu Hanyi didn't know what to say.

Zhou Zhihu touched his round belly: "The so-called 'probability is gone'. Since we are not knowledgeable and cannot determine what he said is falsified, I think it's better to expose it and continue the competition! What do you think?"

"No!" The girl with thin lips seemed to have been with Jiang Shuiyuan. "We cannot wrongly a good person, but we cannot let a bad person go, especially suspected of fabricating evidence in the competition. How can we understand it vaguely? We must find out the truth! Of course, I also know that it is during the competition, so we should not be so entangled, which will delay the precious time of the judges and referees. It is better to do this. If we prove that the opponent's debater has evidence, we are willing to give up the competition and give up the defeat. If we can't find the words just now in "Old Book of Tang", then we will trouble the opponent's debater to take the initiative to cause blame and leave the seat. What do you think?"

All the judges are all mature and immediately understood the song: After the previous competition, although the two teams are not very different, the balance of victory or defeat has obviously tended toward one side of Huai'an Mansion. As long as you can summarize the memorials and there is no mistake in the summary of the memorials, the winner will definitely be in Huai'an Mansion. I think this little woman also saw the clues and came up with this trick.

A bet will determine the winner and lose. It seems like a risky battle, but it is actually a wonderful chess. Because even if they lose, they will not suffer much loss. At most, they will admit defeat in advance. When winning the bet, it is an unexpected surprise. Even if the other party refuses to bet, they can take the opportunity to damage the judges' perception of the Huai'an Mansion Squadron and change the final score. Moreover, the content of the bet is a proficiency in the "Old Book of Tang". Normal people will never be able to do this, so the chance of winning is quite high. Why not do such a stable profit and no loss?

This little woman is very calculating!

Chen Di, Fu Shouzhang and others were not fools. After a moment of thinking, they saw through the other party's sinister intentions. Fortunately, they knew that Jiang Shuiyuan was talented and would definitely win if they really wanted to gamble. After a little discussion, they said to Jiang Shuiyuan: "Senior Brother Jiang, since the other party is so unyielding, why don't we bet on her? Anyway, the door will be a good start, don't be useless!"

"Isn't this good?" Jiang Shuiyuan was a little hesitant. Although he wanted to win, winning like this would be a bit unfair.

"Haha, are you guilty?" The girl with thin lips immediately started to provoke Jiang Shuiyuan when she saw that she was unwilling to participate in the gambling.

If you don’t commit suicide, you won’t die. Since you want to die so much, how can I stop you? Jiang Shuiyuan couldn’t help but sneer: “The old saying goes: Sacrifice your life to accompany a gentleman. Since the opponent’s debater has such a good mood, how can we not accompany you to the end? I just hope that when the result comes out, the opponent’s debater can honestly and frankly restore my innocence!”

"A gentleman's words!"

"Hand a quick whip!"

Someone among the judges asked in a low voice: "Director Zhou, is this incompatibility?"

Zhou Zhihu pondered for a moment, shook his big shiny head and said, "They are Zhou Yu who beat Huang Gai - one is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten. There is no explicit prohibition in the competition system, so we have no reason to stop it, right? As long as they can decide the winner and lose, and have no objection to the outcome of the game, why do we care about so many things? What's more, such a good show is rare to encounter in ten or eight years, so how can we miss it!"

Okay, I feel like my family is watching the fun without bothering me!

The girl with thin lips bowed slightly to the referee: "Please, referee teacher, I remember that there is a complete set of Chinese versions of the Twenty-Four Histories" in our school library, which should contain "Old Book of Tang". Can you please find someone to get it?"

Jiang Shuiyuan added: "If it is the "Old Book of Tang" in the Chinese version of "Twenty-Four Histories", then you only need to get the first volume!"

Fortunately, the campus of Pingqiao No. 2 Middle School is not big, and it is the need of the judges. In less than ten minutes, someone panted the first volume of the "Old Book of Tang" to the host Zhou Zhihu. Zhou Zhihu handed it to Chu Hanyi: "Dr. Chu, old man, I am old and dazzled. I am very unfamiliar with such profound classics. You should check it out!"

Chu Hanyi was about to refuse, Jiang Shuiyuan said, "Don't be too troublesome. This version of "Old Book of Tang" happened to be what I read before. I just quoted three items, one is the first month of the spring of the second year of Kaiyuan. "There is autumn in Guanzhong and the moon is not raining, and there are many people and hungry." It should be on page 172 of this book. Please read it and you will know it!"

"Really or false?" Chu Hanyi didn't care about etiquette, so she took the "Old Book of Tang" and flipped it. Zhang Hong and several other judges also got up and came over, pointing at the edge, saying, "He said it was 172 pages, and you went out to two hundred pages, how could you find it?"

"Page 172 is the eighth volume "The Eighth of the Original Chronicle, Xuanzong"!"

"Kaiyuan was the year name of Li Longji, Xuanzong, and the second year of Kaiyuan was relatively advanced. If this record was really found, it should be in "The Original Records of Xuanzong"!"

"Finished! Found it! Let me take a look, 'The moon is not raining since the autumn in Guanzhong, and there are so many people who are hungry', Oh my God, it's just a word!"

"How did this kid do it?"

Jiang Shuiyuan ignored the surprise of the judges and continued: "The second item I quoted is the autumn of the 15th year of Kaiyuan, 'Sixty-three prefectures water, 17 prefectures frost and drought, and famine in Hebei', which should be on page 191 of the same volume. Please check it!"

The judges' tide of amazement had already alarmed Zhou Zhihu and the referee. Everyone surrounded Chu Hanyi regardless of the rules of the field and urged him: "Flip it quickly, flip it quickly, he said the second one is on page 191 of the same volume!"

The result was not unexpected, and it once again aroused the judges' unanimous surprise.

The teammates in Huai'an Mansion had seen the magical skills of crossing the river water source a long time ago, and had reached the point where they were common and unchanging, so their expressions were calm at this time. However, the girls from Pingqiao No. 2 Middle School all looked gray and depressed when they heard the judges' exclamations. Especially the girl with thin lips had to purse her thin lips tightly, and her eyes began to turn slightly red.

However, Jiang Shuiyuan was frowning slightly and trying to recall it. After all, "Old Book of Tang" was read a long time ago and needed to recall it hard. He did not notice the expressions of the girls opposite: "The third item I quoted is the 21st year of Kaiyuan. 'The long rain in Guanzhong hurts crops, and the capital is hungry' should be on page 2oo.--"

"Enough, no need to look for it!" The girl with thin lips stood up suddenly and said in a crying voice, "Let's admit defeat!"
