Chapter 1081: Recruiting Relatives in a Contest (24)
For a while, the ten groups of people who participated in the competition looked at each other around their respective boxes, knocking left and right, knocking and knocking, knocking and knocking, and looking and looking, but they still didn't think of how to start, so they could only spread their hands to each other to express their helplessness.
And the emergence of this situation is what Yelu Yanxi wants to see the most.
The last intelligence contest is obviously different from the previous two, it is neither a personal battle, nor does it require an agent to fight, everyone present in the mission can find a way to come up with an idea, as long as they can open the box and take out the note, and say the animal drawn on the note, the whole team will be the winner.
To put it bluntly, this is a competition of group intelligence, and each envoy or representative of the tribe represents not only themselves, but even the country and tribe behind them.
If they can win in such a competition, they will undoubtedly make the winners feel extremely proud, and they can publicize this matter in order to publicize their country and nation, and they are the smartest people.
And Yelu Yanxi also represents their Khitans, although there is also another group of Khitans among the contestants, but he represents the elite blood of the Khitans, representing the noble blood of the Yelu royal family with royal status.
Others can't solve this problem, but he Yelu Yanxi can easily solve it, which shows that he is the smartest, and the royal family among their Khitan people is also the best Khitan bloodline, and his inheritance of the Khitan throne in the future is also in line with the Khitan people's custom of advocating the strong.
Thinking of this, Yang Huairen seemed to understand Yelu Hongji's good intentions, even if it was a competition that had nothing to do with the future succession to the Khitan throne, it would show their superiority of the Khitans, as well as his superiority as a royal family.
Let all the officials in the court of the Liao State and the envoys of various countries understand that Yelu Yanxi's body flows with the pure and fine blood of Yelu Hongji, and it is the wisest and most desirable for him to inherit the Khitan throne in the future.
Yang Huairen felt a little funny in his heart, some things, originally there was no need to prove, strength determines everything, Yelu Hongji tried all kinds of ways to establish the legal inheritance of his grandson, and also used this means to show Yelu Yanxi's ingenuity, but it made people feel a little more than a snake.
No matter how he wants to package Yelu Yanxi, he is still a young man, although he is humble and intelligent on the surface, but in fact, Yelu Yanxi is very inward-looking, and there is no essential difference between Yelu Yanxi and the brutal Xiao Fuhu.
Even if Yelu Yanxi can succeed to the throne smoothly in the future, it is inevitable that the lord will be suspicious, a huge state machine, and Yelu Yanxi does not have enough ability to make it run smoothly.
From Yang Huairen's point of view, he doesn't want to see such a situation, if Yelu Yanxi inherits the throne smoothly, then the goal of civil strife in Liao will not be achieved, or if there is chaos in Liao, it will be many years later.
And Yang Huairen's current needs are very urgent, he can't wait so many years, he needs Liaoguo to be in chaos from now on.
Therefore, he must not let Yelu Hongji's wishful thinking start so easily, and must think of an ingenious way to break all this.
Yang Huairen's mind quickly spun, the relationship between the characters, the connection between things appeared in front of his eyes, and he couldn't figure out how to calculate, when all the chaos became regular, an idea gradually emerged from his mind.
But before he could act, suddenly Ulaliga shouted, "It's a wolf! The animal on the paper is a wolf! ”
Everyone's eyes looked at the stupidest-looking Ulaliga in amazement, and no one could believe that he would be the first to open the trap box!
But the funny thing is that everyone suddenly found that the trap box in front of Ulaliga was still good, and even the first trap was not opened, so how did Uraliga know what kind of animal was drawn on the piece of paper hidden in the trap box?
Just when everyone was curious, Yelu Yanxi said with a smile, "The son of Ulaliga of the Mongolian Extinction of the Liji Department answered wrong, the answer is not a wolf, instead of guessing, it is better to ask the prince of Ulaliga to rely on his own wisdom to really open the box and take out the piece of paper to see what is painted on it." ”
Everyone suddenly realized that Ulaliga didn't have the ability to open the trap box at all, but he thought that the animal totem most admired by the Khitan people was the wolf, so he thought of playing clever and trying his luck.
This time Ulaliga is really a loss to the adult, and several other contestants also began to laugh at him, saying that he has no ability, don't pretend to be a smart person, and rely on blind words, even if he guesses correctly? Aren't you still a fool?!
In Yang Huairen's opinion, Ulaliga can think of the idea of Meng Yimeng's wolf, which also shows that he is not so stupid, and the distance from normal human IQ is not so far.
Yang Huairen thought of a way, but he was not so anxious, and played with the mechanism box in his hand, which was a little unpleasant and calm.
Lu Jinyi, who was next to him, was very interested in the mechanism box, and seeing that Yang Huairen was so calm, he asked a little incomprehensibly, "Brother Ren, can you open these mechanisms and open the box?" Why not rush? ”
After all, Lu Jinyi and Yang Huairen haven't been together for a long time, and Brother Hei Niu seemed to have guessed something from Yang Huairen's expression, so he said, "Senior brother, don't worry, since Brother Ren is so calm and calm, he must have thought of a way to win, let's just wait and see what happens." ”
"Yes, yes," Brother Tianba echoed, "Brother must have thought of an idea, let's just wait to see a wonderful show." ”
While he was talking, Xiao Dabu was here, and a military advisor next to Xiao Sabi seemed to have discovered some strange things about the trap box, this person was dressed as a Han official, with a square face and big ears, which was magnificent.
He is usually a master-like figure next to Xiao Sabi, Xiao Sabi has to consult his opinion if he decides, although the actual official position of Big Ear is not high, but because he is valued by Xiao Sabi, other high-qualified old officials also have to give him some face.
The trap box on Xiao Sabi's side was naturally handed over to the person who thought he was the smartest and most thoughtful person around him.
Big Ear had only heard of some of the literati of the Song Dynasty who liked to play with this kind of mechanism box to test their intelligence, but he had never seen it, and he didn't know how to open it.
But he carefully observed the box in his hand and found that although there was no opening on the box, the carved patterns on each side of the box seemed to be a little connected.
He pressed it, and felt that the six sides of the box seemed to be different in their softness and hardness, and if one side was pressed with a little more force, it seemed that a slight sound of friction between the small wooden strips could be heard.
The big-eared man immediately realized that there would be such a sound in the box, did it mean that this was where the first mechanism was located?
