Chapter 1154: Problem solving
With the end of the court meeting, Mo Jiazi's three questions instantly spread throughout Chang'an City, and everyone in Chang'an City was eager to try it, wanting to prove their wisdom and solve Mo Jiazi's three problems.
"With a soft needle! It will definitely pass through the Nine Songs of Jade. A young man said confidently, but when he saw the shape of Jiuqu, he was immediately speechless.
"The remaining foals of the white horse must be white horses, and so are the other horses, so is there to tell what." A rich boy touched the horse under his crotch and said confidently.
A groom retorted: "A mare and a foal can naturally be distinguished, but it is a hundred horses, naturally of the same color, how can you tell the difference, and what if it is a cross of horses of different colors?" ”
The rich boy immediately hid his face and walked away silently.
An old man snorted coldly: "Even if Lu Dongzan's luck explodes, the Tibetan envoy can't eat a sheep or a jar of wine, this time Lu Dongzan is dead." ”
Many people in the Tang Dynasty nodded one after another, according to normal people's thinking, how can a person eat a sheep, I'm afraid he can't do it even if he dies, not to mention a jar of spirits, even the best person has to get drunk and fall to the ground.
Not only did the people of Chang'an think so, but the Tubo delegation in Honglu Temple was also depressed, Lu Dongzan had a sad face, and the three questions of the Mo family kept flashing in his mind, like three life-urging spells, hanging over his head.
The deputy envoy of Tubo said angrily: "The Mo family deceived people too much, and he deliberately came up with some unsolvable problems to embarrass the prime minister, which is to put the prime minister to death." ”
Lu Dongzan shook his head and said, "No, there must be a solution to this, but I haven't thought of it yet." ”
The deputy envoy of Tubo couldn't help frowning and said: "The prime minister is inevitably too optimistic, how can the Mo family let us go with flaws." ”
Lu Dongzan explained: "Mo Jiazi thinks very highly of himself, he knows that once he fails in his true appearance, he will definitely ask him to answer these three questions in public, if he can't answer it, then naturally he can't convict him of his true appearance, so Mo Jiazi must have an answer himself in order to kill me." ”
The deputy envoy of Tubo suddenly realized, but then frowned, Mo Jiazi has always been famous for his wisdom in the Tang Dynasty, and the problems that Mo Jiazi can solve may not be able to solve them.
Lu Dongzan took a deep breath and said: "From now on, all the people in the Tubo mission must obey the command of the Prime Minister, if the Prime Minister does not solve these three questions, he will order the hands of the Mo family to return to Tubo under the leadership of the deputy envoy." ”
A group of Tibetan envoys suddenly said proudly: "I am willing to be driven by the great minister, and it is a big deal to fight with them." ”
"The agreement between Tibet and Buddhism!" The deputy envoy of Tubo kept his senses, frowned and asked, the deputy envoy of Tubo and Lu Dongzan are not in the same line, they were originally the people who replaced Lu Dongzan after calming the anger of the Tang Dynasty.
Lu Dongzan's eyes were firm and said: "Fulfill as promised!" ”
The deputy envoy of Tubo nodded silently, the Tang Dynasty is too powerful, Tubo is far from its opponent, with Buddhism as a bridge, it can be eased a little.
Soon the night passed.
Lu Dongzan, who had not slept all night, came to the Taiji Hall as promised, and when he saw Lu Dongzan coming, almost all the ministers showed curiosity, but they didn't solve it after a night of hard thinking, they wanted to see Lu Dongzan's skills.
"Let's get started!" Li Shimin waved his hand.
Merton stepped forward and handed a white and smooth jade to Pound, who held it on a tray and sent it to Lu Dongzan.
Lu Dongzan looked down, through the translucent jade can clearly see the crooked jade cave in the jade, Lu Dongzan couldn't help but shrink his eyes, this curved jade hole has nine curvatures, even the softest needle may not be able to pass through the jade cave.
The other important ministers couldn't help but shake their heads, they originally wanted to try to solve the first problem with their own methods, but when they saw the Jiuqu Xuanyu, they immediately understood that what they thought was too simple, and the problem of the Mo family was so easy to solve.
"Mo Jiazi has no solution to this problem, why use this method to kill Lu Dongzan, it's too aggressive!" An imperial history frowned.
Suddenly, almost all the ministers' eyes brushed and fixed on the body of Yushi, and Confucian couldn't help but feel a void in his heart, you must know that Tubo ambushed the Mo family, and the Mo family's revenge is not too much, not to mention that the Mo family has left a glimmer of life for Lu Dongzan.
Not only did Lu Dongzan guess that Mo Jiazi had the answer, but how could the Manchu Dynasty civil and military not guess it, but all the time, but all the people who could compete with Mo Jiazi for intelligence returned with hatred, and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military ministers couldn't help but look at Lu Dongzan with pity, and they didn't have any hope for it at all.
However, to everyone's surprise, Lu Dongzan did not hesitate to pick up the Jiuqu Xuanyu and a thin silk thread, and suddenly lay on the ground to find it.
The ministers couldn't help frowning, looking at Lu Dongzan's strange behavior in puzzlement, only to see that Lu Dongzan quickly found an ant on the ground, and carefully tied the ant with a silk thread.
"Ants!" The ministers suddenly had a flash of inspiration and vaguely understood Lu Dongzan's next move.
Sure enough, Lu Dongzan lowered his head and sent the ants into a jade cave in Jiuqu Xuanyu, and at the same time kept blowing into the hole, forcing the ants to keep crawling in the jade hole.
Soon, the ant actually crawled out from the other end of the Jiuqu Jade with the silk thread, Lu Dongzan untied the ant, lifted the silk thread, and passed through the jade hole of the Jiuqu Jade perfectly.
"It's so easy!"
The entire Taiji Hall was in an uproar, and he didn't expect that the Jiuqu Xuanyu, which had stumped countless people, would be solved so quickly by Lu Dongzan.
In an instant, the important ministers of the Manchu Dynasty couldn't help but look at Lu Dongzan with admiration, no matter whether this person was clever or really powerful, it was already commendable to be able to beat the Mo family's move.
"The foreign minister has fulfilled his mission, and he also asks His Majesty the Heavenly Khan to see it." Lu Dongzan gave his hand and presented the nine-song jade wearing silk thread to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin watched a thin silk thread pass through the Jiuqu jade perfectly, and couldn't help but look at Lu Dongzan a few more times, he was worthy of being a person who even Mo Dun treated carefully, and he really had some skills.
"Merton, has this first question been solved?" Li Shimin turned to Merton and said.
The corners of Merton's mouth couldn't help but move, and he said disdainfully: "It's just a child's game, even a three-year-old child can see and unravel it." ”
The Manchu Dynasty's civil and military faces suddenly turned dark, even a three-year-old child can be unraveled, but it can stump hundreds of people, doesn't this mean that they are not even as good as a three-year-old child, but seeing such a simple answer, the ministers want to refute but have nothing to say.
The corners of Li Shimin's mouth twitched, and he waved his big hand and said, "Then let's start the second question!" My stewards have prepared a mare and a foal, each of which is a mother-son relationship. ”
"The Heavenly Khan is powerful all over the world, fair and just, and the ministers are naturally trustworthy. It's just that the minister has never seen these hundred horses, and please give the minister one night to recognize them. Lu Dongzan said respectfully.
Li Shimin nodded and said, "This request is also excusable. ”
"Thank you, wise and wise Heavenly Khan." Lu Dongzan said gratefully.
With Lu Dongzan being introduced by the eunuch into the Imperial Horse Prison, the first question was finally solved, and when the news spread from Chang'an City to the people, there was an uproar, and no one thought that the result would be so simple.
"It's just opportunistic, this time let the Tibetan thieves get lucky, and the next question is not so lucky." Many people in Chang'an snorted coldly.
