Chapter 637: Ye Xuan’S Question Stumped The Koreans
Chapter 637: Ye Xuan poses a question that stumps the Koreans
All the officials were drinking happily.
This state banquet was just to entertain these Korean people and to truly show the prestige of the Ming Dynasty.
The people of Korea started to cause trouble deliberately.
Just when everyone was about to enjoy the singing and dancing, the envoy from Goryeo suddenly stood up.
"Emperor Ming Dynasty, I heard that your imperial examination results are very good and the talents selected are very powerful for future construction. Can you compete with us on the battlefield today?
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang put down the wine glass in his hand and frowned slightly as he looked at the Korean envoy.
"What do you mean by this? Why don't we understand?"
The prince on the side saw this and gave him a cold look.
The Koreans really deliberately wanted to prevent Zhu Yuanzhang from coming to Taiwan.
"We Koreans will ask a few questions. If you officials from the Ming Dynasty can answer them, we will lose."
After the Korean envoy finished speaking, he laughed and deliberately looked at the officials sitting aside with contempt.
These officials were all promoted in one fell swoop, even though they could be considered the top scorers in the imperial examination that year.
After all, after Ye Xuan's layers of screening, the remaining ones were all elites, and they couldn't bear to see the Korean envoy being so humiliated.
The officials were even more angry when they heard what Gao Li said. This simply showed that no one in the Ming Dynasty could resist Gao Li.
"These Koreans really take themselves too seriously. They dare to act so boldly in front of His Majesty."
"Our Master Ye is a master in setting up questions. As long as he comes forward, these Korean people will definitely cry bitterly. But don't forget how painful it was for the students who took the imperial examination.
"Don't underestimate these people, they are cunning and cunning.
Ye Xuan heard the officials' discussions clearly. He originally didn't want to care about this matter, but he didn't expect that the Koreans wanted to slap him in the face.
That being the case, he wouldn't let these people get in his way.
Seeing that no official could stand up, they immediately started making sarcastic remarks.
"Is it possible that none of the ministers of the Ming Dynasty are knowledgeable and knowledgeable? They are all just pretentious."
Zhu Biao glared at the Korean who was uttering arrogant words, and his heart was full of anger.
He wanted to stand up and go out, but Ye Xuan held him back.
"Your Highness, this is not the time for you to take action. How can we let you come to deal with these Koreans?"
Ye Xuan stood up as soon as he finished speaking.
He pretended to adjust his clothes, stood up slowly, and immediately attracted the attention of the officials.
"How much strength Goryeo has is just to find some sense of presence in front of us."
Ye Xuan volunteered to stand up, and the officials immediately felt confident.
But what Ye Xuan said did not make the Korean people even more picky about Ye Xuan.
"Who is this gentleman? How come we haven't seen him before? What we in Korea want is someone who can speak up in court, not a nobody.
The Korean people's tone is not small.
"I am your Majesty's minister. Even if I am a nobody, as long as I win over you, I will be able to deal with you without the help of our highly respected officials."
Ye Xuan's words made everyone sigh. Even Zhu Yuanzhang praised Ye Xuan highly.
He is truly worthy of being the examiner of the imperial examination. He can be on point in every sentence.
When these Koreans reacted, they realized that they had fallen into Ye Xuan's trap.
Zhu Biao and Xie Jin couldn't help but chuckle.
Ye Xuan was not an easy person to deal with, so the Koreans immediately started to confront Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan is not that easy to bully. Since the Koreans want to humiliate themselves, Ye Xuan has plenty of time and effort to accompany them.
"Your rules are too complicated. How about we just win two out of three games."
The Korean envoy looked at Ye Xuan doubtfully, as if he didn't understand his reasoning.
Ye Xuan explained to them in front of everyone.
"We, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, serve as the referee. You and I will compete in three games: Zither, Go, Calligraphy, and Painting. You can choose whatever you want, but if you can't win, don't blame us if you lose."
The Koryo envoy snorted coldly when he understood.
They came well prepared this time, how could a mere Ye Xuan be taken seriously by them.
There is absolutely no problem with the best-of-three proposed by Ye Xuan.
"If you have the ability, come here. Don't cry bitterly if you lose."
Ye Xuan laughed loudly and looked at the Korean envoy in front of him with great interest.
"If you lose then, don't blame our Ming Dynasty for not being merciful. I'm famous for being strict. If you don't believe me, you can ask around."
The Korean envoys have already reached this point, so naturally they cannot admit defeat so easily.
Ye Xuan will stay with you until the end.
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately ordered that all the singing and dancing should be withdrawn, and an arena was immediately set up.
The rules of best-of-three games were set by Ye Xuan, and Zither, Go, Calligraphy, and Painting were selected by the Korean envoy.
Ye Xuan fought against three of them alone.
The Korean envoys had half an hour to prepare, while Ye Xuan sat on the chair with a calm expression, not taking them seriously at all.
This also made Goryeo's envoys begin to underestimate the enemy.
Although the officials in the court could not understand Ye Xuan's insistence on going his own way and following the formality, they all supported Ye Xuan one after another at this moment of sharing weal and woe.
"."Master Ye, you really gave us a big face this time. He set such a serious question. Can these Korean envoys do it?
"Don't forget how strong our Lord Ye is. They, Goryeo, will lose their face."
"That's right. How dare a small country dare to show off its power in front of us. We could have wiped them out back then."
The officials came to discuss, which made Zhu Biao and Zhu Di feel a little nervous for no reason.
Although Zhu Di didn't understand much, he also knew that Ye Xuan's decision this time was related to Daming's face.
Xie Jin stepped forward and stood behind Ye Xuan. He had already made his decision.
If Ye Xuan couldn't fight against Goryeo's envoys, he could confront them head-on.
In short, one more person can be regarded as giving them a better chance of winning.
The competition officially began, with Ye Xuan presenting the questions in the first round.
"The people we sent from Goryeo are very knowledgeable people. Since Mr. Ye is the examiner of the imperial examination, let's take a test question to see how strong he is.
If I feel sleepy, someone will hand me a pillow.
The Korean touched the muzzle of Ye Xuan's gun, and Ye Xuan stood up with a cold snort.
"That's very good."
Ye Xuan picked up the pen and wrote a poem on the paper in front of him.
"A gold bottle of sake is worth ten thousand dollars, and a jade plate of treasures is worth ten thousand dollars!"
After he finished writing, he put away his pen and said, "It's your turn, the Korean envoy."
When everyone saw the poem written by Ye Xuan, they were shocked. .
