Chapter 639: Riding a Monkey in a Tree
At the dinner table, Cui Yue also inquired curiously about today's selection of horses, Zhang Nan was eating while talking to Cui Yue, and Li Lizhi was also adding from time to time.
After everyone listened to Zhang Nan's poems, they all looked at Zhang Nan with admiration.
Zhang Nan waved his hand with a modest look and said, "Basic operation, sit down." ”
"I didn't expect you to not only come up with something incredible, but also a good hand at composing poetry." Jin Shengman also didn't expect Zhang Nan to be so talented.
"Don't you know those hypnotic poems made by your brother-in-law when your sister got married? Just because of those poems, when the talented people in Chang'an City get married, they are required to make at least a hypnotic poem that is no less than that of Master Zhang. Li Lizhi said with a smile.
Jin Shengman heard Li Li's question, so he said with a natural face: "Is this strange? I wasn't around when my sister got married, right, sister. After Jin Shengman finished speaking, he pulled Cui Yue's sleeve.
After a few days of contact, Jin Shengman called Cui Yue his sister, and the one who called him was a skill, and Zhang Nan even felt that Jin Shengman had called Cui Yue as Jindeman.
"It seems that you are very concerned about my sister and my brother-in-law, princess." Jin Shengman looked at Li Lizhi with a smile and said.
Hearing Jin Shengman say this, Li Lizhen didn't say much, but just ate by herself. After eating, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.
Nothing was said all night.
Early the next morning, Zhang Nan took Li Lizhen to the palace in a carriage, as the host, Zhang Nan must have arrived earlier than those envoys. When everyone came, Zhang Nan cleared his throat and started the next day's test.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today's test is a little different from yesterday's, today's test mainly relies on everyone's brains, so everyone only needs to answer verbally." After Zhang Nan finished speaking, Li Er nodded, and Zhang Nan read out his first question.
"Everyone, pay attention, this question is a rush to answer, whoever grabs it, even if anyone answers it, if you don't grab it, then you have to wait for the next question." After Zhang Nan finished speaking, the envoys present all showed eager expressions on their faces.
"Listen to the question, a monkey riding on the tree, a monkey on the ground, a total of several monkeys." After Zhang Nan's question was read, everyone present had an expression of "this is also a problem" on their faces.
But soon, Lu Dongzan raised his hand, although this question sounds simple, but if you miss the opportunity, you will regret it.
Zhang Nan saw that it was Lu Dongzan who wanted to answer the question, and immediately said with a smile: "Please say it." ”
"There are eight monkeys in total, although you just deliberately said that seven characters strange to mislead us, but I still heard it clearly." Lu Dong praised.
After Lu Dongzan finished speaking, Zhang Nan clapped his hands.
"Da Lun is really talented, congratulations Da Lun, you answered wrong."
"Wrong answer?!"
Originally, when he heard Zhang Nan's first half of the sentence, Lu Dongzan thought that he was right, but Zhang Nan actually told him that he had answered wrong. This makes Lu Dongzan unable to understand.
"It's wrong, then please ask Lord Zhang to make it clear, what is wrong in the next place?" Lu Dongzan asked unconvinced.
"When I say riding, I'm riding a horse, and there's a monkey riding on a tree and a monkey squatting on the ground, doesn't that add up to two monkeys?" Zhang Nan said with a smile.
"See if I'm not fooling you today." Zhang Nan said silently in his heart.
Without waiting for Lu Dongzan to speak, Zhang Nan said again: "Okay, please listen to the next question." Originally, Lu Dongzan still wanted to reason with Zhang Nan, but as soon as he heard that Zhang Nan was going to talk about the next question, Lu Dongzan was in good spirits again.
"No matter what kind of question it is, it can be answered with one answer, what is this answer?" Zhang Nan said.
After Zhang Nan asked, everyone present showed thoughtful expressions on their faces, and even Li Er thought about it. Zhang Nan's question was seen by him from the brain teaser, and it was also made by Zhang Nan temporarily, so Li Er didn't know the answer.
After waiting for a long time, after making sure that no one could answer, Zhang Nan said: "Okay, since you haven't answered, there is no winner." Well, the next question is ......"
Zhang Nan's words were not finished yet, but he was interrupted by Li Er, and this time even Li Er couldn't look at it.
"Qingquan, what's your answer to this question?" Li Er's face was also full of curiosity, and he couldn't think of what kind of answer could answer all the questions.
After Zhang Nan heard this, he asked with a smile: "Your Majesty, do you really want to know?" ”
"That's natural." Li Erdao.
"The minister said it truthfully."
"Say it quickly."
"I don't know."
“......”
"You don't know the answer to this question, can that count as a question?" Li Er asked with a black line on his face.
"I don't know."
"You don't even know if this can be counted as a problem, how can you take it out to test people?" Li Er continued to ask.
"I don't know."
“......”
"What do you know?"
"I don't know."
“......”
Hearing Zhang Nan say three words in a row, Li Er immediately wanted to get angry, but was quickly stopped by Empress Changsun.
"Your Majesty, presumably the answer to this question Qingquan said is that I don't know, so if you have any questions, you can answer them with not knowing, didn't Qingquan tell the emperor everything?" Empress Eldest Sun said with a smile.
Hearing Empress Changsun say this, Li Ercai reacted, and the answer to Zhang Nan's question was that he didn't know. After understanding this answer, Li Er was also temperless, he couldn't say that Zhang Nan's answer to this question was problematic.
Indeed, all questions can be answered with the word "I don't know".
Li Er waved his hand impatiently, signaling Zhang Nan to hurry up and continue down, because Li Er felt that his IQ had been insulted.
"Okay, this is the final ultimate question, if you can't answer it again, it can't be said, you haven't even answered one-third of the princess's question, if you can't answer this question again, please go back and make it clear to your king, it's not that we don't marry the princess, it's just that we don't have the ability to marry back."
After Zhang Nan finished speaking, he said his last question.
"My question is, if this is my last question, please answer it." Zhang Nan said with a smile. This question Zhang Nan also looks at from later generations, the original question is, if this is a question, please answer, and the standard answer is, if this is the answer, please give points.
However, Zhang Nan didn't believe that the people present could answer this question, as the ultimate question, Zhang Nan naturally had to have a standard answer, and he also had to be able to stump everyone's questions.
