When everyone heard this, they all fell into deep thought. It is undeniable that the ability to open the box in the correct way in a proper manner can indeed show a person's wisdom.

But what Yang Huairen said seems to be more reasonable, since the purpose is to take out the piece of paper, then the simplest and most crude method is the fastest and most labor-saving method, since you can do this, why bother to do things that rack your brains and don't think of a way to open the box?

The fact is indeed that Yang Huairen was the first animal to take out the piece of paper in the box and say that the paper was painted on it, which has proved that Yang Huairen's approach is indeed the smartest approach.

Yelu Yanxi was speechless, isn't everything Yang Huairen said exactly what human beings are constantly doing in the process of human development?

It is precisely because of the emergence of a variety of tools that make human labor and life more convenient, and precisely because there are many smarter and more convenient ways to do things, which make human life better, and at the same time drive the continuous progress of social civilization.

It's just that Yelu Yanxi didn't have the opportunity to show the correct way to open the trap box, and he was still unwilling to think that his grandfather's mind had not been achieved.

Xiao Sabi also began to agree with Yang Huairen's statement, because he couldn't find any reason to oppose the theory Yang Huairen said, smart, that is, he knew how to use the fastest and most economical way to achieve the goal, and he would do whatever it took to achieve the goal, isn't this what the Khitan people advocate the most?

What is a smart approach, in fact, it is not difficult to distinguish, simply and rudely opening the trap box is a smart approach, and Xiao Sabi can't deceive himself to deny it.

But in this way, Xiao Sabi did not win any of the three competitions, which also means that his wishful thinking has been completely shattered.

Xiao Sabi was a little annoyed at first, he seriously underestimated the strength of Yang Huairen, a Han man, and thought that Yang Huairen was just like what his son Xiao Dabuhe said, Yang Huairen was a skilled cook.

But the chef's cooking skills are exquisite, even if Yang Huairen can carve the tofu into a wonderful flowering effect, he is just a cook, an inferior person who serves people.

The reason why Yang Huairen can have his current official position and status, guess it, is just that he won the favor of the little emperor of the Song Dynasty who likes to eat, drink and have fun through his exquisite cooking skills.

Therefore, Xiao Sabi has always believed that Yang Huairen is just the kind of slanderer or courtier that every emperor has, because he knows how to pat the emperor's sycophants to get to his current status.

But after really getting in touch, Xiao Sabi gradually began to realize that Yang Huairen was definitely not as simple as he had imagined before, and regardless of whether his master was really an immortal or not, just Yang Huairen's eloquent mouth made him feel that this person's ability was extraordinary.

Xiao Sabi was annoyed, but suddenly found that a trace of joy appeared in his heart, because from Yang Huairen's words in order to prove his victory, he actually got a feeling that listening to your words was better than reading ten years of books.

He carefully recalled Yang Huairen's truths, and when he connected them to himself, he had an inexplicable epiphany, and he was inspired by other aspects. It was like a bright light that cut through the darkness, and his vision widened a lot.

He suddenly felt that many of the things he had been thinking about before seemed to be wrong. For example, his ambition, and how he has been planning and planning for many years to realize his ambition to rule the Khitan, and even dominate the world, does not seem to be a smart way to save time and effort.

There are many ways for him to become an emperor, but he chose the most stupid one, and that is to compete with Yelu Yanxi, the imperial grandson.

In retrospect, this was a time-consuming and laborious exercise, and it was also subject to pressure from Yeluhongji, the strange eyes of many courtiers, and even the suspicion of brothers and nephews of the same clan.

What made him even more unhappy was that he had made so many preparations, and on the issue of the heir to the throne, Yelu Yanxi's status had never been shaken much, after all, people were the orthodox royal bloodline.

And he, if he wants to become an emperor, he will be watched no matter what.

Notoriety, he doesn't care, for the sake of power, which emperor in history has a good reputation? Didn't the Han Gaozu of the Han people also cook rabbits and dead dogs? Didn't Tang Taizong also kill his father and brother?

As for the cruel things in the Khitan people for power and status, not to mention it, Yelu Hongji was able to sit on the throne of the Khitan emperor, is it because of his benevolence?

The answer is no. Xiao Sa was empowered, and suddenly figured it out, why do I want to compete for the throne with a son or even a grandchild?

Yelu Hongji doesn't know how many more years he will live, he won't die for a day, do I have to wait? I myself am not young, and although I received a bottle of longevity pill from Yang Huairen, it is difficult to say that I will definitely live longer than Yelu Hongji.

Xiao Sabi became more and more aware that he was too stupid before, and he asked himself, why should I wait stupidly? Why didn't he take the initiative to think of an idea, and now while Yelu Hongji is old, he has not yet done everything for his grandson and prepared to countersign, and take the first step to seek the throne?

In an instant, Xiao Sabi suddenly didn't care about the ending of the martial arts recruitment, what could his son Xiao Dabu do if he won? Whether it was Yang Huairen, Jurchens, Goryeos, or Mongols who were victorious, who became a golden sword and a horse, and what effect did it have on him?

Xiao Sabi's eyes were empty, looking at the vast grassland outside the stands, the warm sunshine, the trees swaying gently in the wind, and the grass that was growing tall, he actually smiled.

Things don't have to be so troublesome, and they don't have to care whether the courtiers are on his side or supporting Yelu Yanxi or someone else, strength is not just looking at the numbers on paper.

Soon after, it was the traditional festival of the Khitan people, Yelu Hongji would go out of the northern suburbs to sleep on the grassland to celebrate the festival, and according to the custom, he would lead 3,000 guards with him to guard, isn't this a great opportunity?

Yelu Yanxi hadn't come back to his senses to announce the results, Xiao Sabi suddenly said, "The Yang envoy of the Song Dynasty is really smart, this third game of the competition, this king admits that you won, congratulations to the Yang envoy for becoming the golden sword horse of the princess of the Great Liao Kingdom!" ”

Seeing this, others also felt that Yang Huairen deserved to win, and they also followed Xiao Sabi's example and stepped forward to congratulate him.

Even Wanyan Aguta and Ulaliga and others, although they were extremely unconvinced, and they also regretted that they did not marry the princess to achieve their goals, but in this situation, it seems that the result can no longer be changed, and it is not good to offend Yang Huairen at this time, so they also forced a smile and stood up to congratulate.
