If you use one sentence to describe Li Tai's current situation, it is "heart-piercing", really heart-piercing, when you find that you are working hard, but you are easily compared to another person, what is your mood, if that person is still the person you hate very much, let alone mention.

The contest continued, and it was the turn of the Hall messenger to come up with the question, and the Hall messenger came up with the question: A slave made a mistake, and the master wanted to execute him. The slave begged for mercy, but the master gave him a chance, and asked someone to bring ten notes, and said to the slave: "Here are ten notes, nine of which are written 'death' and one is written 'life', you touch one, if it is 'life', let you go back immediately, if it is 'death', blame you for your bad life, and blame others." In fact, all ten slips of paper have "death" written on them, and no matter which one is caught, it is the same. Asked, is there any way to help this slave survive death?

After Li Hao heard this question, he secretly sighed: "It turns out that those brain-burning questions in the future world have existed in ancient times, and this question is not new in the future world, most people have heard of this question and know the answer, but when this question appeared for the first time, it caused a lot of sensation and stumped many people, I don't know how many people can be stumped in this era." ”

If you want to know whether this question is difficult or not, just look at the reaction of the ministers, only to see that the ministers are talking about each other at the moment, and some people are frowning and groaning, looking for the answer. And Li Tai frowned and thought for a moment, then smiled, he had already thought of the answer.

After a long time, the answering time was over, Xu Lian put away the answer sheets of the six people, and announced their answers one by one, and the answer of the Tianzhu messenger was: "Kill the slave master." ”

Everyone looked at the Tianzhu envoy with strange eyes, and they were very suspicious, how did this person become an envoy, and his mind was full of mush? Or are the Tianzhu people as stupid as him?

The answer of the envoy of the country of Gesar was: "Open all the notes on the spot and expose the tricks of the slave owners." ”

The ministers shook their heads again, although some of the ministers had already guessed the answer, but no one was willing to speak, they were only looking forward to Lu Dongzan and Li Hao's answers now, these two were the best of the contestants, whether they were asking questions or answering questions, they were perfect.

The answer of the envoy of the kingdom of Chenla was: "It cannot be saved." "To say it is to say nothing.

Li Hao's answer is: "Take a random note, don't open it, swallow it in your stomach, the remaining nine are 'dead', and the rest are 'life'." ”

When the ministers saw this answer, they clapped their hands and suddenly said: "Yes, such a simple way, why didn't I come up with it!" ”

"Brilliant plan! Sure enough, it's a brilliant plan! ”

……

Lu Dongzan's answer is: "Destroying one and leaving nine, nine is 'death', and what is destroyed is 'life'." It's exactly the same as Li Hao's answer.

As for the answer sheet of the Great Eclipse, it was blank because he couldn't think of any answers.

In this game, Li Hao and Lu Dongzan won again.

It was the turn of the last Great Food Messenger to come up with the question, and the Great Food Messenger wrote the title on the paper in regular script and handed it to Xu Lian, who took it and recited it aloud: "10 boxes of gold, 100 yuan per box, one tael each." There are corrupt officials who grind off a certain box of gold nuggets for one penny, please weigh once to find the box of gold that has been manipulated. ”

I have to say that the regular script of this big food messenger is good, more beautiful than other messengers, as for Li Hao, his words are not as good as these foreigners, Li Hao saw this beautiful regular script, he couldn't help but be ashamed, and secretly decided that he would practice more words when he had time in the future.

Li Hao has never seen this question, since the start of the competition, he frowned for the first time, thinking carefully about how to solve this question, he only thought for a moment, and then got the answer, this question is very simple.

At this time, the envoy of Tianzhu suddenly shouted: "The gold has been polished, can't you see it?" Do you still need to weigh it? ”

Li Hao sweated wildly when he heard this, Third Brother, you better go home and wash and sleep, this kind of occasion to test your IQ is really not suitable for you.

The ministers also sneered when they heard this, and no one answered him at all.

Soon, five minutes passed, and the sand in the hourglass was also drained, Xu Lian asked everyone to stop writing and began to collect the answer sheets, this time, there were three people who answered correctly, Li Hao was one, Lu Dongzan was one, and an envoy of Zhenla Country also answered correctly.

The correct answer is: arrange the chests in order, take one piece of gold from the first chest, take two pieces from the second chest, take three pieces from the third chest, and so on, until the tenth chest, take ten pieces of gold, and then weigh the gold together to see how much less than it should be, if it is two dollars less, it is the second box, and five dollars less is the fifth box, and you can sit in the right seat.

At the end of the competition, Li Hao answered all the questions, Lu Dongzan also answered all the questions, and the envoys of the other five countries were directly eliminated.

Since Li Hao and Lu Dongzan have the same results, the next step is for the two to go head-to-head, ask each other questions, and then determine the final winner.

Since there were only the two of them left, there was no need for these screens, so Li Shimin sent someone to remove the screens, and then let them sit opposite each other in the center of the hall, and the competition began.

Li Hao spread his hands and said: "The elders come first, Prime Minister Lu, you ask questions first." ”

"It's better to be respectful than to obey." Lu Dongzan smiled slightly and began to ask the question, "In ancient times, an old man was dying. On his deathbed, he called his two sons to his bed and said, 'Ride your horse to the western mountains and come back, and whoever runs slower will have his property.' The two sons rode out on horseback and walked slowly. Seeing the strange situation, the people along the way asked the reason, and said a word to the two, and the two of them hurried up, lest they fall behind. Excuse me, what did this passer-by say? ”

After Lu Dongzan finished speaking, he looked at Li Hao with confidence on his face, this problem was not something he came up with out of thin air, but his own experience, because he was the passerby, that sentence came from his mouth, he was the only one in the world who knew the answer, and he didn't believe that Li Hao could guess it.

Li Hao closed his eyes and thought for a long time, then slowly opened his eyes and said, "If I were that passerby, I would say to them: 'You two change horses and ride'." ”

Lu Dongzan was shocked when he heard this, and then chuckled and sighed: "Li County Hou Zhizhi, sure enough, Ge Erdong is convinced, and it is Li County's turn to ask the question." ”

Li Hao was also not modest, and directly asked: "The envoy of the Gesa Kingdom has a slave survival problem, and I am also a slave survival problem, Lu Daxiang and listen well, a slave is about to be executed by his master because of his mistake, and the master said to the slave: 'Do you know how I will kill you?' You guessed it, I can make you die a happy death and cut off your head with a single sword. If you're wrong, I'll hang you. 'How can this slave answer in order to save himself?' ”

As soon as Li Hao said the topic, the ministers exclaimed, what kind of question is this, if you guess correctly, you will die, and if you guess wrong, you will die, do you want to guess? That's impossible.

Even Lu Dongzan, who had been answering the question smoothly, couldn't help but have his eyes light up when he heard this question, and couldn't help but nod and praise: "Good question!" With that, he closed his eyes and began to ponder.

Seeing Lu Dongzan close his eyes, Li Shimin turned over the hourglass on the desk and timed Lu Dongzan, he felt that Li Hao's question was very difficult, anyway, he had given up thinking about the answer, so he obediently timed Lu Dongzan, as long as Lu Dongzan couldn't answer, then everything would be fine.

The ministers were all whispering to each other at the moment, discussing how to solve this problem, no matter how you look at it, it is an unsolvable situation, Li Tai frowned and thought for a long time, and slowly shook his head to look at Li Hao, and silently thought in his heart: "Impossible, that slave is mortal at all, how can he save himself, I don't believe it, I don't believe that there is an answer to this question......"

However, he also knew that he was lying to himself, since Li Hao dared to say this question, it means that there is an answer to this question, because if there is no answer to the question, it will be a failure.

After a long time, there was only a little sand left in the hourglass, Lu Dongzan suddenly opened his eyes, slowly smiled, and said, "I know the answer." ”

"Oh?" Li Hao raised his eyebrows and spread his hands, "Prime Minister Lu, please tell me the answer." ”

Hearing this, everyone stared at the two of them with wide eyes, eager to know what the answer was.

Lu Dongzan smiled indifferently: "Li Xianhou is really extraordinary, this question seems to be unsolvable, but it hides a mystery, it is really a good question, Lu Dongzan admires it." ”

The ministers are in a hurry, you are talking about the answer, aren't you tired of talking so much nonsense, Li Tai couldn't help it for a long time, and shouted anxiously: "What is the answer?" ”

Lu Dong praised: "The slave just has to say, 'I will be hanged.'" That's it. ”

Everyone was at a loss when they heard this, and they still didn't understand the mystery of this sentence, helplessly, the IQ gap was a bit big, and everyone gave the answer, but they couldn't even understand the answer.

Lu Dongzan looked at Li Hao with a smile and said, "Li Xianhou, the question is from you, you can explain it to everyone present." ”

"Okay." Li Hao nodded, and explained in a loud voice, "The phrase 'I will be hanged' is not a good sentence, the slave is mainly wrong, the slave will be hanged, the slave is right, the slave is right, the slave is right, the slave will have his head cut off, and the slave is wrong." ”

The ministers heard that their heads were swollen for a while, Li Hao said too much, they didn't understand it at all, and Li Tai's eyes lit up, and he shouted excitedly: "That's right, that's it, that's it, it's really possible!" ”

Everyone saw that Li Tai agreed with Li Hao's words, which showed that Lu Dongzan did answer correctly, and regardless of whether he understood it or not, he applauded it one after another, so as not to be thought by others that his brain was not good, so embarrassing.

This time the competition in front of the palace has entered the white-hot stage, and all kinds of strange problems have opened the eyes of the ministers of the Tang Dynasty, and they have finally seen the extraordinary wisdom of the Tubo Prime Minister and Li Hao, which has to be amazing.

Now, it's Lu Dongzan's turn to ask the question, Lu Dongzan thought about it, and said: "There is a well, seven zhang deep, there is a green worm, climb from the bottom of the well to the well, can climb three zhang during the day, but at night, it has to slide down two zhang, may I ask, how many days and nights does this green worm need to climb to the wellhead?" ”

As soon as this question came out, the ministers were stunned again, what is going on, why did such a simple question suddenly come out, as long as anyone who can calculate accounts can calculate it.

Li Hao narrowed his eyes and looked at Lu Dongzan, although he had never heard of this question, he knew that this question would definitely not be as simple as it seemed on the surface, and there must be a hidden mystery.
