Chapter 743: Everyone is happy

tore off the disguise of covering his ears and stealing the bell, and Lu Dongzan and Li Su finally went head-to-head. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Su is a very upright person most of the time, just now in the name of Prince Zhenla and Lu Dongzan tricks, based on the face of diplomatic relations between the two countries, this is something that everyone knows, but Lu Dongzan went crazy, when the palace pierced this layer of window paper, Li Su was happy to be open, and he had long wanted to teach this Tubo minister how to behave face-to-face.

Li Su's questions are very straightforward and easy to understand, strictly speaking, this is not a question to test IQ, and it does not require any complicated calculations and ingenuity or brain teasers or anything, he is a logic question.

The word "logic" is a bit awkward to explain, simply put, it is based on the normal thinking of human beings to deal with the development of objective things, for example, a normal man, who has gone through a lot of hard work to catch up with a peerless beauty, finally got the permission of the beauty, and promised to open the room, and after entering the room, the man either makes a romantic candlelight dinner, or goes straight to the bathroom to wash the white, and the final purpose and result of the two actions must be to carry a gun on the big bed in the room, and enjoy the fish.

This is the logic of normal thinking, an inevitable behavior that most normal people will choose, on the other hand, if a masculine man enters the room with a beautiful woman in his arms, he strips naked and dances a charming wind to the beauty. Sao's glamorous dance, or a moral pedantic adverbial to educate a beauty why she is shameless and easily agrees to open a room with a man, etc., these are neurotic anti-logic.

Li Su's question is a typical logical problem, a story tells the antecedents, and speculates on the consequences by himself, the antecedents have two sentences, one is true and the other is false, and the consequences have two choices, one is life and one is death.

The story is of course fictional, but the choice is true, this question is very interesting, not only logical reasoning, but also contains true and false human nature, just a few sentences, let the Buddha outline a person's life encounters, whenever you encounter a fork in the road in life, that fork in the road will always meet a true or false person, give you a true or false advice, and then you choose to believe or not, and then decide which way to go, each different choice means the next completely different encounter and fate, Sometimes this choice even transcends success or failure, and rises to the height of life and death.

Heroes overcome obstacles and eventually succeed in their careers, it is hard to say, in fact, it is harder than imagined, at least the hero must ensure that he must believe the true words every time he encounters a fork in the road, the right person, choose a correct path, and make the right choice again and again to achieve this feat, in this process, any sentence is wrong, the wrong road is chosen, the hero is not a hero, and the merit is also someone else's work, who dares to say that there is no trace of luck in this?

As soon as Li Su's question came out, everyone in the hall was dumbfounded.

The people who are qualified to stand in this hall are naturally not ordinary people, it can be said that they are almost all successful people in the world today, and they are already at the height of the temple, is this not considered success? As soon as Li Su's question was finished, everyone felt a little familiar, thinking about it carefully, this question seemed to hit a dusty memory in everyone's heart for many years, in that memory, everyone seems to have encountered such a topic, at a fork in the road in life, meet a person who doesn't know whether a good person or a bad person, say a suggestion that doesn't know the truth or falsehood, and then choose to believe or not believe.

It's too hard, and when you think about it, you think it's too hard.

This seemingly simple and interesting question, after carefully chewing and reminiscing, actually implies the great wisdom of life, the great Zen machine.

Lu Dongzan was unwilling, Li Su's question sounded very simple to him at first glance, but after thinking about it carefully, his face became more and more ugly.

Two choices, one life and one death, two gatekeepers, one only tells the truth, the other only tells lies, and can only ask one question, and then decide which door to open......

This question is not only a consideration of logic, but also a consideration of human nature, considering the humanity of others as well as one's own humanity.

Lu Dongzan didn't expect Li Su to have this kind of question, before Li Su spoke, he had made all the preparations, the only remaining arrogance that was scarred by Li Su was still struggling, he was confident that he could deal with everything with his own resourcefulness, no matter how complicated the calculations, how perverted and treacherous the trap, he believed that he could solve it.

However, he didn't expect Li Su to come up with this kind of question, strictly speaking, this has nothing to do with wisdom, what he asks is his heart, and what he asks is the way to Dacheng, which can only be solved by people with great wisdom who see through the truth and falsehood in the world.

The hall was quiet, and everyone was shocked by Li Su's problem, and then everyone was secretly pondering, including Li Shimin. They are all imagining that if they ask the two gatekeepers by themselves, what should they ask to know which one is telling the truth and which one is lying, which door is life and which door is death?

Wei King Li Tai's face is the most ugly, it is undeniable that he is smarter than most people, among all the princes of Li Shimin, he is the smartest one, not only wise, but also erudite, which is why he is as fat as a pig but can still get Li Shimin's deepest favor, and even almost is the only person known to be the next prince of the East Palace, wisdom and erudition are his most eye-catching advantages.

The nine-song stringing praised by Lu Dong just now, Li Tai had already been hit hard, and later in free fall, Li Tai was hit again, until this moment, after Li Su personally came up with this question to consider human nature, Li Tai pondered for a long time without saying a word, and then his fat face showed a look of collapse.

After three blows in a row, Li Tai had deep doubts about his IQ, and he had the heart to hang himself.

He finally had to admit that he was not as good as Li Su, and he was too far behind.

Thinking of this, Li Tai's face became more depressed and frustrated, and it looked more and more bleak.

Compared with Li Tai's gloom, the most uncomfortable in the palace is naturally Lu Dongzan, who thought hard for a long time and couldn't understand, Lu Dongzan had to use the most stupid method, in front of the kings and ministers in the palace, actually played role-playing, called the two entourages in the Tubo mission, and simulated the restoration of Li Su's topic, one pretended to be a gatekeeper who told the truth, and the other pretended to be a gatekeeper who told lies. It's useless, and no less than dozens of questions are asked back and forth, all of which are unsolvable.

In the end, Lu Dongzan finally despaired, looked up to the sky and sighed, shook his head bitterly and said nothing.

Li Su had been looking at him quietly, and when he saw Lu Dongzan's bleak appearance at the moment, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Don't worry, I'll let you on this topic for two hours, it's still very early, think about it more." ”

Lu Dongzan sighed gloomily, his lips squirmed a few times, he wanted to speak and stopped, and finally met the eyes of the palace monarchs, Lu Dongzan finally had to say: "Li Su, you won, the old man admitted, this problem is unsolvable." ”

There was an eerie silence in the hall, and then a smile gradually bloomed on Li Shimin's face, the smile became deeper and deeper, and the look on his face became more and more bright and bright.

The eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others are even more overjoyed, but the monarchs and ministers are all people who know the number of etiquette, no matter how excited they are in their hearts, it is inconvenient to show it too obviously in front of the loser, and they are not kind, so they laugh and laugh, but no one is born laughing, and the palace has maintained an embarrassing atmosphere of joy and sorrow.

The moment he admitted defeat, Lu Dongzan seemed to be ten years older, his shoulders quickly collapsed, and even his back was much stiffer.

With the words of admitting defeat, the last shred of dignity finally passed away with the wind.

Zhenla Prince Shi Nayan didn't care much, he waved his fist fiercely, his eyes showed a light of extreme excitement, and then turned his head to look at Li Su deeply, these days from the sure of marriage and kiss, to Li Su's destruction of peace, what border troops, the eastern suburbs of martial arts, and the final Golden Palace competition, Shi Nayan was fortunate to witness how Li Su, a magical young man, only relied on his own strength, step by step to completely turn the whole thing around.

With such ability and resourcefulness, how can there be such heroes in the world?

No wonder His Majesty the Great Tang Dynasty Khan is so fond of him, no wonder the military generals of the civil and military generals all look at him with blue eyes, a young young man can get a piece of praise from the court and the court, among a group of old foxes and like a fish in water, there must be his extraordinary ability, today Shi Neyan finally had the honor to see his ability.

It's really worthy of the name.

The hearts of the monarchs and ministers in the palace were boiling, but Lu Dongzan obviously had the last trace of unwillingness, glared at Li Su and said: "You just said that the problem must be solved by the person who made the question, otherwise it will be regarded as out. ”

The hall was quiet again, after the victory or defeat had been decided, everyone put down their hearts of gain and loss, and became curious about the answer to Li Su's last question, when Lu Dongzan was playing role-playing in the hall just now, in fact, the rest of the people were consciously or unconsciously doing the same thing as Lu Dongzan in their hearts, this is of course the stupidest method, but it is also the most effective method at present, obviously everyone has experienced thousands of questions in their hearts, and still no one has come up with an answer that can successfully distinguish the door of life and avoid the door of death.

Hearing Lu Dongzan's question, everyone in the hall pricked up their ears, and even Li Shimin couldn't help but lean forward, revealing a look of great interest, as for Li Tai, the king of Wei, his eyes were even more burning staring at Li Su, looking like he couldn't hold back and urgently needed an answer.

Looking at the expressions of everyone in the hall, the corners of Li Su's mouth twitched, and then made a move that no one could have imagined.

I saw him take a step forward, slowly walked in front of Lu Dongzan, and said with a smile: "The answer is very simple, that's what the wise man said......"

As he spoke, Li Su suddenly put his mouth close to Lu Dongzan's ear, and whispered a few words in his ear, but his voice was too low, and the silence in the Rao is hall was so quiet that he could hear the needle, except for Lu Dongzan, no one heard what Li Su said in his ear.

With Li Su's eloquent whispering, Lu Dongzan's face changed drastically, first he looked confused, then his eyes suddenly widened, and after muttering a few words to himself, he showed a sudden realization, and finally his expression was even more gloomy and depressed than just now, and he looked up to the sky with a heroic twilight sigh.

That's right, you really should ask this sentence, and only this sentence can you open the door of life and leave calmly...... The people of the Tang Kingdom are outstanding and blessed, just looking at Li Su alone, the old man knows that the luck of the Tang Kingdom has not faded for at least hundreds of years, and Tubo is not as good as it, the old man ...... Convincing! ”

Lu Dongzan sighed gloomily, Li Su smiled and said nothing, but everyone in the hall gritted their teeth in anger.

This bastard actually sold the pass at a critical juncture, what is the answer, you should say it out loud! Don't you know that it's very unethical to leave this kind of suspense?

The most disappointed is Li Tai, this fat man is an academic madman, he has an extreme enthusiasm for knowledge, especially the problems that even he can't solve, and he is even more anxious to know the answer after secretly admitting defeat, but Li Su only whispered to Lu Dongzan alone, and couldn't help but be anxious, seeing that Li Su did not mean to make the answer public, Li Tai couldn't help but say loudly: "Brother Zizhengxian, what did that person ask to judge which door is the door of life?" Please also give me advice! Brother Fool is grateful. ”

Li Su rolled his eyes: "I won't tell you." ”

As the smartest person in the hall at this moment, Li Su felt that he was qualified to be arrogant and put on the spectrum of a genius boy.

Li Tai was stunned by Li Su's words, and his fat face quickly turned red, and he couldn't tell whether he was embarrassed or anxious.

Seeing that Li Su said this, the monarchs and ministers in the palace who had the intention to ask the truth had no choice but to keep silent, so as not to be rejected in front of everyone's eyes and sweep their face, after all, face is much more important than curiosity.

When the dust settled, Li Shimin didn't bother to care about what the real answer was, he only knew that Datang had won, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

This hall competition to recruit relatives seems to be just a slapstick game, but the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty are very aware of the importance of this competition, simply put, it is related to a war that uses the treasury money and grain.

The consequence of winning is naturally that everyone is happy, and the Tibetans have suffered from the loss and suffering, and there is no legitimate excuse for raising troops to invade the country.

If Datang and Zhenla lose, the consequences will be serious.

There will be no real friendship between countries, the depth of friendship depends on whether the interests are compatible, if Tubo wins this competition, Li Shimin naturally can't pull down the son and still let Princess Wencheng marry Zhenla, there was a broken promise before, if the princess is married to the loser instead of the winner again in full view, Li Shimin can't do such a thing no matter how thick-skinned he is.

After the princess Wencheng was promised to Tubo, the Zhenla country would naturally not be too happy, and it was not impossible to break off diplomatic relations with the Tang Dynasty, and Li Shimin wanted the real wax rice seed even more than even think about it, after the two countries broke off diplomatic relations, the Zhenla country will definitely block the border, and never communicate with each other, and Li Shimin is determined to get the real wax rice seed, you don't give it to me and rob it, I am the emperor when I speak softly, and I will become a bandit after asking for it, so that the war between the two countries is inevitable, and regardless of the victory or defeat, At least the lives of the children of Datang Guanzhong and the very little money and food left in the treasury will definitely consume countless people, not to mention the international status of Datang in many foreign countries after the war, as well as the sequelae of countless public opinion statements such as the "Datang threat theory".

Therefore, Li Su's victory today is of great significance to Li Shimin, a war that costs money, food, life and character is stopped by Li Su alone.

This merit is tantamount to opening up the territory and accumulating immeasurable merits.

took a deep look at Li Su, Li Shimin's eyes showed appreciation and satisfaction, of course, in front of everyone, Li Shimin naturally would not praise him, this little bastard did not praise him and already caused trouble everywhere, which was a headache, if he praised him in front of the ministers, he would not be able to go to the sky and the moon to catch turtles in the sea in the future.

Looking at Lu Dongzan, who looked gloomy and depressed, Li Shimin turned his head to look at Li Su and said in a deep voice: "Li Su, what is the result of the competition?" ”

Li Su said with a smile: "The noble envoy of Tubo has the virtue of humility, which is slightly inferior, and he has the demeanor of a great country. ”

This was said beautifully, Li Su kindly helped Tubo pick up some face, but the facts were in front of him, Lu Dongzan felt extremely harsh when he heard it in his ears, and his cheeks were hot and painful, but he had to force a smile and said: "Tubo's skills are not as good as others, and he is convinced, Your Majesty, the foreign minister did lose." ”

Li Shimin said lightly: "It's just a joke game, you don't have to take it to heart, the results of the competition will not affect the diplomatic relations between your two countries......

After a pause, Li Shimin continued: "Since the winner has been divided, then...... I then decreed, from now on, in addition to the title of Princess Wencheng, in the clan to choose the first daughter of the vassal king, and add the title of Princess Wencheng, this woman, still allow Tubo Zanpu Songtsan Gampo. ”

Lu Dongzan was startled, and raised his head suddenly, the frustration on his face gradually subsided, and was replaced by a sense of surprise and joy.

Li Shimin looked at Lu Dongzan and said with a smile: "The emperor is full of promises, how can he break his word?" Tubo Songtsen Gampo not only has the good intention of seeking the phoenix, but also has the heart of jade, and I have always kept it in my heart as a friend of the two countries. ”

Lu Dongzan was overjoyed, straightened his clothes, bowed down respectfully to Li Shimin, and said with a straight face: "Foreign Minister Lu Dongzan, on behalf of Tubo Zanpu, thank His Majesty the Heavenly Khan, Tubo and the Tang Dynasty will be good friends with Qin and Jin from now on, and the sword soldiers will rest forever." ”

Li Shimin laughed: "Very good." ”

Turning his head to look at Prince Zhenla again, Li Shimin smiled and said: "I will be crowned princess again, and I will marry Li Ping, the eldest daughter of Jiangxia King Daozong, to Prince Zhenla, and I hope that you and I will also be friendly from generation to generation, and each will be good neighbors." ”

Shi Neyan was also overjoyed, knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Thank you, Your Majesty Khan, for your grace." ”

The original tense atmosphere in the main hall, with Li Shimin's generous throwing out one more princess, finally turned anger into peace, and Tubo Zhenla was happy.

Li Su also smiled, but the smile didn't look so happy.

Perhaps, he changed history, perhaps, he reversed the ending of the whole thing, but after all, it was just the appearance, the harmony system that he disagreed with the most in his heart, the status in the court is still unshakable, Li Su has tried his best these days, left and right, thinking hard about good plans, although the ending has changed, but this harmony system that he is deeply ashamed of has not changed at all, the fate of one princess Wencheng has changed, and another princess Wencheng has fallen into the sea of suffering.

In my lifetime, can this damn shameful system wait for the day when it will be abolished? (To be continued.) )
