Chapter 638: Who Can Answer the First Question?

Lu Dongzan raised his head and met Li Shimin, without the slightest evasion in his eyes.

After a long time like this, Li Shimin suddenly nodded emphatically, and promised in a deep voice: "As you think, this matter is allowed!" ”

Lu Dongzan's eyes suddenly twitched, and a sense of urgency arose in his heart, he hurriedly arched his hand towards Li Shimin, and pleaded loudly: "Your Majesty of the Tang Dynasty, your mind is like the sea." It just so happens that the envoys of various countries are gathered today, I wonder if Your Majesty can ask the question immediately? ”

He thought that he had studied the culture of the Central Plains and was more knowledgeable than all the envoys present, so he was eager to let Li Shimin solve the problem, just to occupy the first opportunity.

Why is Lu Dongzan in a hurry to let Li Shimin solve the question, because he has an advantage in today's question. Since Datang wants to use difficult problems to choose a son-in-law, then all the envoys must follow the rules. But people's knowledge has strengths and weaknesses, and he Lu Dongzan obviously has many envoys to strengthen the country.

However, Li Shimin had already planned to allow all the envoys to answer the questions with their strength, so this competition would be invisibly magnified, because the envoys of various countries would not be irrelevant, they could spend money to hire people to help.

Therefore, Lu Dongzan must seize the opportunity and ask Li Shimin to start the question directly.

As long as Li Shimin comes up with a question now, then all the envoys can only answer on the spot due to competition, and everyone can't go back to prepare, and naturally they can't hire well-educated people to help.

At the same starting point, the test is his own ability, Lu Dongzan studied the Han culture of the Central Plains, and he felt that he had a great chance to beat everyone.

Li Shimin glanced at him deeply, and suddenly said with deep meaning, meaning something: "Tubo is really extraordinary." Others are still thinking about the rules for recruiting sons-in-law, and you have already begun to ask for questions......"

Lu Dongzan arched his hand and said solemnly: "Please give Your Majesty a chance, this envoy is responsible for Songtsen Gampo!" ”

"True loyalty!" Li Shimin praised it, then coughed lightly, and said with a solemn face: "Marriage is destined, but it can also be artificial." The so-called artificial, is to prepare, since the Tibetan minister gave the question, then I did not hesitate to give it, you have all listened to it, I came up with the first topic......"

The envoys below hurriedly waited quietly, and even Lu Dongzan became breathless. Many people secretly glanced at Lu Dongzan, obviously annoyed that this person was eager to start the matter of choosing a son-in-law.

Just as Lu Dongzan envisioned, start answering questions now, and everyone can only play on the spot if they are limited to competition, otherwise if others answer and you don't answer, you will immediately lose the possibility of further progress.

Although the Tang Emperor stipulated that each question should be answered in six days, this six days is only a total time limit. If someone finishes the question on the first day or even the first moment, then it will naturally overpower everyone else.

At this time, Li Shimin suddenly turned his head to look at the side of the main hall, his eyes fell on a few concubines standing behind the dragon pillar, and suddenly whispered to the eldest grandson queen: "Guanyin, the matter has come to this, don't be entangled, take out your pearl, I want to make a question for it." ”

The eldest grandson seemed to complain, but everything was acting, and she nodded reluctantly, and then took out a pearl the size of a fist.

This pearl is really a peerless treasure, just take it out and have a misty light, and the light on the pearl is constantly flowing, causing the people in the hall to sigh lightly.

But everyone just admired this pearl, and no one dared to be greedy. Lu Dongzan and other envoys were panicked, not knowing what kind of topic the Tang Emperor was going to make.

Li Shimin pointed to the pearl and looked at everyone, and said with a leisurely face: "This pearl is born in Hepu, an endogenous natural channel, this channel is nine curved panhuan, even if the water flows, it is difficult to flow in and out." There is a naturally occurring hole on each side of the bead, which happens to be the opening of the bead's nine curved panhuan, and my first question is very simple, who can use silk thread to thread from one end of the bead to the other, then even if he succeeds in answering the question. ”

The voice fell slowly, and then he didn't say a word.

Jin Wuwei, who was on duty outside the hall, hurriedly brought a table, and then placed a jasper plate on the table.

Empress Eldest Sun stepped forward, gently put the pearl on the jasper plate, and said with a smile: "This palace loves this pearl very much, just like a daughter." Therefore, the pearl is used as the theme, implying that the princess is beautiful, I don't know who can move, and the woman is like a pearl? Who will solve this problem? ”

The beads are white and moist, and they are placed in a jasper plate and continue to roll, and the white beads and jasper complement each other, and from time to time they emit brilliance.

Everyone stepped forward to watch, and many ministers couldn't help but praise and sighed: "The world's great treasure, the pearl roller, really deserves to be a rolling bead, as long as it rolls, it is difficult to stop." ”

Li Shimin laughed and said a little proudly: "The reason why the rolling bead can self-propelled in the plate is precisely because its surface is round and smooth, not only the surface is round and smooth, but also the inside is also unique, so I use this bead to solve the problem, it depends on which of you can ......answer it."

Who can answer?

It's hard to answer!

There are naturally existing channels inside this bead, but this channel is smaller than a hair, and it is just small, but it is also nine curved coils, not to mention the use of silk threads to pass through, even the flowing water is difficult to flow in and out.

All the envoys present frowned, and everyone racked their brains.

Even Lu Dongzan felt difficult, and there were ways to keep flashing through his mind. However, every solution was eliminated after only one lifetime, because there was no solution to the problem.

Wear it through with a needle?

No, the needle in this era is too thick......

Violently expand the channel of the beads?

No, this is the pearl of the queen......

Just now, the queen used the pearl to imply the princess of the Tang Dynasty, if you violently expand the bead channel, wouldn't it imply that you are disrespectful to the princess of the Tang Dynasty?

Lu Dongzan only felt at a loss, and all the methods were overthrown by himself.

He thought that he had studied Middle-earth culture intensively, so he urgently asked for an immediate question, but he didn't know that this topic had nothing to do with culture, and it seemed that he was completely embarrassed.

The same is true of the envoys next to him, all of whom find this question difficult. Everyone watched the pearl for a long time, no one answered from beginning to end, and one of the envoys even picked up the pearl and blew it, and found that there was indeed a passage through the pearl.

Although there are passages, they are very small, and it is obviously not possible to penetrate the soft silk threads through them.

Lu Dongzan suddenly looked up at Li Shimin, and asked, "This question is difficult, I don't know if His Majesty the Emperor has a way?" ”

Li Shimin smiled, shook his head and said, "Never!" ”

Everyone was stunned, and Lu Dongzan questioned: "Since even Your Majesty has never had a way, why do you have such a problem?" ”

Li Shimin's face was leisurely, and he replied lightly: "It is precisely because I don't know that I will take it out as a problem." Otherwise, do you think that my Datang dowry is so easy to get, and you can ask to marry a princess by casually solving some problems? ”

Lu Dongzan was silent, obviously agreeing with this, but Xiao Xiong's recognition of one thing does not mean that he agrees with this matter, and he questioned Li Shimin again: "If there is no answer to the question, it is difficult." His Majesty the Emperor himself doesn't know how to solve it, An Neng can take it out as a test of the topic, this envoy has doubts about His Majesty's sincerity in marrying a daughter, why don't you change the topic......"

Li Shimin snorted, and suddenly stood up from the dragon chair, the emperor pretended to be angry, and said coldly: "I have heard people say that the existence of the world is reasonable. Since this bead is born with a channel, it can definitely be penetrated with silk threads. The fact that the Tibetan minister is incapable of solving it does not mean that others are also incapable of solving it. If you find it difficult, you can opt out of it. ”

Lu Dongzan's pupils shrank, and he hurriedly said: "The envoy was just joking just now, His Majesty the Emperor should not take it seriously, this question will definitely be solved, but it will take some time." ”

The envoys next to him also hurriedly interjected, and they all said that they could solve it, but it took time to solve the problem, and it could not be done overnight.

Li Shimin stretched out six fingers slowly, and said lightly: "You can use it for six days, and you are not forbidden to ask for help." Whichever one can answer this question, the outnumbered person counts as the winner of that country. ”

The crowd hurriedly bowed their hands, and their words became flattering.

Lu Dongzan's eyes flickered a few times, and he kept staring at the rolling beads carefully, and suddenly looked up at Li Shimin again, as if remembering something: "Just now His Majesty said that existence is reasonable, so this bead must be able to wear silk threads, this makes the secluded plateau shallow in knowledge, but I feel that this is reasonable, I want to ask, who said this?" ”

Everyone present was stunned, and then their eyes became eager.

Lu Dongzan's question is very skillful, he is obviously asking the person who speaks, but in fact, he suspects that the person who speaks has a way, since the Tang Emperor does not prohibit finding someone to help, then finding this person may be able to solve the problem.

Li Shimin glanced at Lu Dongzan with great meaning, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency is really extraordinary, and your mind is exquisite. ”

Lu Dongzan arched his hand and said with a smile: "I don't dare to be praised by Your Majesty, I don't know who the person who spoke?" "This thing obviously still remembers to find the person who answered the question, and then answer the question of this pearl stringing.

Li Shimin smiled, and said leisurely: "Existence is reasonable, everything has a solution, this is what my eldest son said, does the Tubo minister want to find him?" ”

Lu Dongzan's eyes suddenly froze, and he muttered: "It turned out to be King Zhao of Xifu, no wonder he could say this." If there are only ten smart and delicate people left in the world, King Zhao of Xifu is definitely one of them. ”

This was a high compliment, but no one in the room questioned it. Han Yue's reputation for being smart spread all over the world, and no one thought Lu Dongzan was a compliment.

Lu Dongzan suddenly sighed lightly, and said tentatively: "Your Majesty, this question is difficult, it is not something ordinary people can think of, this envoy is making a guess, could it be that it was made by King Zhao?" ”

Li Shimin smiled lightly, but his face was vaguely recognized.

Lu Dongzan sighed again, and suddenly arched his hand: "It turns out that it is really from King Zhao, so this question cannot be solved in a short time." This envoy respectfully asks for His Majesty's consent, and I want to go back and ponder both sides. ”

said that he went back to think about it, but in his heart he had the idea of looking for someone to help, all the smart people in the world are the same, it doesn't matter if he is, as long as he learns to use people.

Li Shimin looked at him with burning eyes, and only nodded slightly for a long time, and said softly: "Accurate!" ”
