Chapter 183: Three Questions

The weather is very good, and the Xuanzheng Hall is also crowded with people, all the princes and ministers, all of them have all faces, and it is estimated that the most calm person here is the eldest grandson Wuji. But the eldest grandson Wuji has always been like this, as if there is nothing that can make him change his face.

Li Shimin leaned on his chair and said slowly, "Mr. Lu Dongzan, today is my princess Wencheng's school examination, I don't know if Mr. Lu Dongzan is ready?" ”

"Your Majesty Tian Khan, rest assured, my Tibetan boy is already ready, just ask the princess to ask the question!" Lu Dongzan said respectfully.

"That's good!"

The envoys of various countries also pricked their ears and waited patiently, all interested in wanting to know what kind of questions this Princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty could raise. Especially the envoy of the Xiangxiong Kingdom, Doro, he very much hopes that this time the Tubo peace strategy will end in failure, if Songtsen Gampo really goes to the Tang Princess, then the Xiangxiong Kingdom will really have a hard time.

"Your Majesty the Heavenly Khan, can you start?"

"Of course!" As soon as the words fell, Li Shimin clapped his hands and saw a palace maid walk into the hall, this woman was none other than Youlan, the personal female official of Empress Changsun. It is estimated that those envoys rarely see beautiful women, and when they saw Youlan's delicate face at first glance, they showed pity one by one, such a beauty was just a maid.

"Youlan has seen Your Majesty!"

"Get up, Youlan, now you can tell Mr. Lu Dongzan and the envoys the first question!" Li Shimin also frowned when he saw Youlan at first glance, but after seeing Fang Yiai squeezing his eyes at him, Li Shimin also knew that Fang Yiai had arranged it, so he responded calmly.

"May I ask Mr. Lu Dongzan, how many kinds of people are there in this world? Her Royal Highness the Princess has said, if Sir and your Tubo retinue can't answer this question, I will say the second question, and Her Royal Highness the Princess also said that as long as Sir can correctly answer the two questions of the Princess, you will win! Youlan said this, it can be regarded as insulting the IQ of the Tubo people, of course Lu Dongzan is not stupid, he arched his hand and said, "It's okay, I believe that we Tubo people will definitely be able to succeed!" ”

"Hehe, then don't bother Mr., it's half an hour, now Mr. will discuss the answer with your people!"

Lu Dongzan was not polite, so he quickly discussed with his own people, not only the Tubo people were thinking, but even the other envoys also thought about it, why did they think this question was so strange, how many people are there in the world? How can I feel like I'm scratching my head?

Half an hour said that it was not long, but it was not short, Lu Dongzan frowned, and said to Li Shimin, "Your Majesty Huitian Khan, your subordinates have an answer!" ”

"Oh? Mr. Lu Dongzan, please speak! ”

"Returning to His Majesty the Heavenly Khan, the subordinates feel that Her Royal Highness the princess has a deep Buddhist principle in this question, there are many mortals in this world, everyone has a concept in their hearts, and everyone is different, so the subordinates think that this answer should be that there are thousands of mortals in the world" Lu Dongzan replied very cleverly, without giving a specific number, but others had to agree with his statement.

After Li Shimin glanced at Youlan, Youlan nodded, she did not answer Lu Dongzan, but walked in the direction of the Goryeo envoy with gentle steps, when the Goryeo envoy Cui Yonghao was somehow, Youlan smiled and said, "Mr. Envoy, I don't know if I can ask this little boy next to you a few words?" ”

Before Cui Yonghao could answer, the **-year-old boy next to him put on a little adult appearance and smiled, "Girl, excuse me!" ”

Fang Yiai's eyes were a little crooked when he saw this little guy, this guy himself knew that he was Gao Zang, the nephew of King Rongliu of Gaoli, which was nothing, what made Fang Yiai depressed was that this guy dared to stare at Youlan's chest. Just a little bit older is so colorful, and when he grows up, he will have it, Fang Yiai has decided, and when he fights Goryeo in the future, he must send this kid to the palace as a eunuch.

"Little boy, you are amazing, you actually know Chinese!"

"My sister has won the prize, and when the king is in the palace, he often learns Chinese with the gentlemen!"

Fang Yiai was stunned, this is really a powerful character, even my sister shouted so quickly, looking at Youlan's happy face, Fang Yiai was very unhappy, I didn't see this woman so happy when I called her Sister Xi'er.

Youlan had already seen Fang Yiai look at her, and she had already laughed in her heart, this second son really didn't grow up, and even ate the vinegar of such a little child.

"Hehe, it turned out to be a little prince, what does the little prince have to say about the question raised by Her Royal Highness the princess just now?"

Gao Zang is still a child after all, after listening to Youlan's words, he glanced at Cui Yonghao at a little bewilderment, Cui Yonghao signaled but said that it was okay, Gao Zang scratched his head and said, "Sister, I think Her Royal Highness the princess's question is actually very simple, isn't there only two kinds of people in the world, men and women, am I right?" ”

Listening to Gao Zang's words, Youlan smiled happily, Fang Yiai also smiled happily, and even Li Shimin couldn't help but squint his eyes, but Lu Dongzan had a hot feeling on his face. The problem is so simple, he and his gang are not as smart as a child, and this time it is really embarrassing to throw it to grandma's house. If someone else answers, Lu Dongzan can still say that he arranged the pit of the Tibetan people in advance, but the one who answered this question is a Goryeo, or a **-year-old child, what else can he Lu Dongzan say, can it be said that the Tang Dynasty bought the little prince of Goryeo, Gao Zang? It is estimated that as soon as this is said, people will definitely laugh to death.

The envoys of various countries and the civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty stared at Lu Dongzan one by one, and at this time they felt that this Lu Dongzan was really funny, and he didn't compare to a little kid after doing it for a long time. Although many people here have the wrong answer, they don't care, anyway, it's cool to be able to laugh at others.

"Fang Jun, did you arrange it?" Li Chengqian looked at the extremely embarrassed Lu Dongzan, and his stomach was about to burst into laughter, and it was estimated that the only one who could make this move was the Fang Yiai behind him.

"Brother Prince, don't wronged me, I'm a good person!" Fang Yiai shrugged and put on an innocent look.

"Are you a good person? Fang Jun, then let me ask you, what about my white horse? Li Chengqian felt that this Fang bereaved love was too shameless, and he helped him find a good horse, he was good, and without saying a word, he took him to the princess's mansion to please Changle. In the end, it was he, the prince, who went to the horse pen to make a record with the people in the horse workshop.

"Brother Prince, what white horse? Is my horse obviously black! ”

Li Chengqian was speechless, why did his good sister fall in love with this scoundrel, Li Chengqian felt that he couldn't talk to Fang Yiai anymore, and if he continued to talk about it, he was really afraid that he couldn't help but raise his voice, then he would be ashamed like Lu Dongzan.

"Fang Jun, I won't tell you yet, I heard that there is a beauty building that is very good, this king will take the time to take a look!" After Li Chengqian said this, he turned his head with a smile and didn't say anything, but Fang Yiai's smiling face was gone, why didn't Li Chengqian learn the good and learn the bad, he blamed himself for his brother, it must have been Li Ke who told Li Chengqian, otherwise how could this prince brother pay attention to who opened the beauty building?

"Brother De, what did you say?"

"Huh? Mentioned a word! Li Ke whispered.

As soon as he heard this, Fang Yiai's face darkened, this unscrupulous prince, did he hate someone in his room so much, he knew that he was trapping.

"His Majesty the Heavenly Khan, this first question, we admit defeat, now please talk about the second question!" Lu Dongzan was really able to bear it, and quickly settled down in the ridiculed eyes of the people around him, he knew very well that he must stabilize now, even if he lost, he couldn't lose the sharp spirit of Tubo.

"Hehe, sir, Her Royal Highness's second question is very simple!" Youlan clapped her hands, and then the two guards lifted a rectangular wooden lattice, there were a total of twenty square lattices on this wooden block, and each lattice was empty, then Youlan replied, "Sir, there are a total of twenty grids on this wooden block, suppose there are two grains of rice on the first grid, four grains of rice on the second grid, and eight grains of rice on the third grid, and put them down in turn, how many grains of rice should be placed in the twentieth grid?" ”

"This?" Lu Dongzan felt that his head was big, what kind of problem is this, give them a few bags of rice, and they will soon get the answer as long as they put them one by one? But Lu Dongzan felt that the problem didn't seem to be so simple, how could the Tang people be so kind?

Soon, in Lu Dongzan's surprised eyes, the guards brought in three more bags of rice, and then Youlan said, "Sir, these bags of rice are estimated to be able to be used by you, now the timer starts, the time is one hour, I believe it is enough!" ”

Under everyone's attention, the Tubo people began to perform, put the rice and put the rice, count the counting, and it was okay at first, but when the eleventh grid was counted, the Tubo people began to sweat on their heads, and Lu Dongzan was also a little confused at this time. How easy it was to start, why is it so difficult now? When an hour passed, Lu Dongzan closed his eyes as if he had resigned himself to his fate, and only now did he get the thirteenth grid, which was still far from the twentieth grid.

Lu Dongzan knew that this plan to make peace was over, and he arched his hand towards Youlan and said, "Girl, Her Royal Highness the princess of your country is indeed outstanding in learning, and I am willing to bow to Tibet." Although we have already lost, can the girl tell me how many grains of rice should be placed in this twentieth grid? ”

"One hundred and forty-eight thousand five hundred and seventy-six grains of rice!"

"Huh!" Hearing this answer, not only Lu Dongzan's face changed, but even the other envoys were frightened by this number, more than one million grains of rice, how long will it take to eat.

"Hehe, Lu admires, this small twenty grids can contain such a large number. Girl, can you tell Lu what is Her Royal Highness's second question? This is not that Lu Dongzan is unwilling to lose, but that he is very interested in the third question.

"Mr. Lu Dongzan, please listen, in ancient times there was a huge tree, this tree stood on the earth, the height was four hundred zhang, and at this time there was an ant staying three hundred zhang away from the bottom of the giant tree, so may I ask, how far is the top of the giant tree from this ant?"

As soon as Youlan's question came out, Lu Dongzan frowned and thought about it, he knew that even if he could answer the first question correctly, this third question would defeat him. Lu Dongzan smiled bitterly and asked with some emotion, "Girl, can you tell Lu that these questions are really raised by Her Royal Highness the Princess?" ”

"Sir, it's funny, does it matter who brought it up, the important thing is whether you can answer it!"

Lu Dongzan smiled awkwardly, he shook his head and said, "The girl is right, it really doesn't matter who proposes it." ”

"Your Majesty Tian Khan, Lu Dong admires it, this time I lost in Tubo and I was convinced!" Lu Dongzan said and saluted Li Shimin respectfully, if Lu Dongzan dared to look down on the Han people before, then today he had to change his concept, the reason why the wise man is a wise man is because he can deeply understand himself.

Seeing Lu Dongzan like this, Fang Yiai was a little unhappy, this Lu Dongzan is too rational, for the sake of Datang, this person must not stay.

In that bleak Yishui, if Jing Ke can turn back, will there be a unification of the world? Fang Yiai didn't know, but he knew that he had to be an assassin, kill Lu Dongzan, and let his blood stain the Weishui River.

Several degrees of wind and rain and a few sorrows, the cold wind sent the ghost horse king to collect. The long sword folds the halberd and drinks the blood, and there is a light hook next to the stone pile!

Lu Dongzan felt a cold chill, but when he turned his head, he didn't find anything.
