Chapter 741: Solution
No one expected that Lu Dongzan would come up with such a tricky and strange and extremely difficult question, Jiuqu threading, this question seems simple, but everyone who has seen the beads has found that this question is almost impossible to complete, the Tang Dynasty monarchs frowned, thinking hard, Shi Nayan of Zhenla Kingdom was pale, and looked at the pearl in his palm, and after a while, there was a look of despair in his eyes.

Obviously, Lu Dongzan has carefully thought about this question, just like the masters of the rivers and lakes took out the deepest and most powerful trick to press the bottom of the box in their lives, in order to defeat the enemy with one blow, Lu Dongzan wants to win this competition, no matter what the result of the competition is, as long as he wins the competition, he can slap the face of the Tang Dynasty monarchs and ministers, and he can also raise the prestige of Tubo, even if he fails to welcome Princess Wencheng back to Tubo, Lu Dongzan will not be blamed by Songtsan Gampo and many nobles in China.
In the final analysis, in order to save his life, Lu Dongzan has a reason to give it his all in this alone.
Li Shimin's face was ugly, as soon as Lu Dongzan's question was given, he felt the difficulty of this question, and then he sensitively noticed that Lu Dongzan was clearly trying to teach Datang a cruel lesson, and to humiliate Datang in front of many foreign envoys.
His eyes were staring at Lu Dongzan not far away, and Li Shimin's eyes were full of murderous aura.
There were many calculations in advance, and when they developed to this point, all the calculations failed, and the whole thing was developing in an unpredictable direction, and the outcome was full of suspense.
Li Su's face just now was even more ugly than Li Shimin, the situation was out of control, the Tang Dynasty monarchs and ministers lost the initiative, if they messed up, their own responsibility would bear the brunt, maybe Li Shimin was reluctant to kill him, but it was inevitable to give him a ruthless lifelong unforgettable lesson, after Lu Dongzan came up with the question, Li Su's face was still ugly, and as Lu Dongzan coldly said the answer within an hour, Li Su somehow suddenly smiled.
When he was forced to have no way out, he became open-minded.
People will encounter countless difficulties in this life, and there are many solutions, IQ, force, reaction speed, or...... Coincidental and coincidental memories.
"Nine curves of stringing...... Hehe, kind of interesting. Li Su smiled and muttered to himself.
Lu Dongzan glanced at him and said coldly, "Can you solve it?" ”
Li Su shook his head: "I am shallow in my knowledge, dull and ignorant, and I can't solve it if I ask myself...... However, perhaps His Royal Highness the Prince of Zhenla is resourceful and talented, and he may not be able to solve it. ”
Lu Dongzan looked at Shi Neyan, his eyes were full of contempt, this contempt was not the contempt of a strong country for a weak country, it purely belonged to a high-IQ genius looking at an imbecile retarded contempt.
"Can His Royal Highness the Prince explain? The old man doesn't bully you, as long as you open your mouth, if one hour is not enough, the old man will spare you one more hour, how about it? ”
Shi Neyan's pale expression floated with a hint of anger, his hands clenched into fists, and his breathing became short.
This kind of generosity, which seems to be kind but is actually ironic, deeply pierced Shi Nayan's heart.
The country is small, his strength is weak, and his wisdom is not as good as others, no matter in any aspect, he is a big step behind Lu Dongzan, and this humiliation cannot be repaid by any means.
Seeing Shi Neyan's appearance of daring to be angry and not daring to speak, Lu Dongzan smiled contemptuously again.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, an hour, slow or not, fast or fast, the old man thinks that His Royal Highness should hurry up and find a way, if you can't solve this problem after an hour, hehe, the old man doesn't say anything, everything is decided by His Majesty the Tang Emperor."
Li Shimin's face darkened, pursed his lips and said nothing.
Li Su raised his eyebrows, looked at Shi Neyan, and said in a deep voice: "Can His Royal Highness the Prince solve it?" ”
Shi Neyan turned his head to look at the envoys of his country behind him, and everyone looked gloomy and shook their heads silently. Shi Neyan turned his head to look at Li Su, his lips squirmed a few times, and then he gritted his teeth fiercely and said, "I...... Try it. ”
Li Suhan smiled and nodded, Li Shimin waved his hand to signal the eunuch beside him, and the eunuch suddenly understood what he meant, and hurriedly said loudly: "Warriors outside the palace, light incense!" An hour begins! ”
Lu Dongzan glanced at Shi Neyan and said with a smile: "Okay, the old man will not disturb His Royal Highness the prince's thinking, and the old man is waiting for His Royal Highness's good news outside the palace." ”
As he spoke, he glanced at Li Su meaningfully, and after saluting Li Shimin, Lu Dongzan led several envoys from Tubo to withdraw from the main hall.
Li Su's eyebrows were frowning, he understood the meaning of Lu Dongzan's glance just now, and he generously went out of the palace to wait, and didn't even care if the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Kingdom would help Zhenla to cheat, because Lu Dongzan was very confident in his own questions, he knew that no one could solve them, no matter how much effort the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Kingdom spent to help Zhenla, the problem was still a problem, it had nothing to do with manpower and material resources, and it was impossible to solve it without extraordinary wisdom, so Lu Dongzan simply sold a generous and went out of the palace to wait.
In the main hall, the monarchs and ministers and the envoys of various countries looked at each other, Li Su glanced at Shi Neyan, who was starless, walked up to him, and said softly: "Your Royal Highness, is it really impossible to unravel?" ”
Shi Neyan stared at the Jiuqu Bead in his hand and didn't speak, but his bleak expression had already told Li Su everything.
Li Su's eyes were also on the Jiuqu bead, he reached out to pick it up, and looked at it carefully in front of him, after a long time, the corner of Li Su's mouth suddenly showed a smile, and he whispered in a voice as low as a mosquito: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, I ...... Can I help you again......"
Shi Neyan raised his head suddenly, looked at him with surprise and anxiety, and said, "You, you...... Can you solve it? ”
"Yes." Li Suhan said with a smile.
Shi Neyan's mouth opened wide, staring at him in shock, and then a little doubt and disbelief gradually appeared in his eyes.
Li Su sighed and said, "Believe me, I won't play with you at this time, and I'm not sure I won't talk nonsense." Lu Dong praised this question,...... I can figure it out. ”
Shi Neyan was overjoyed, and even his voice trembled a little: "If the Marquis of Li County can really solve it, Shi will thank the great grace, and from now on, he will never dare to disobey him." ”
Li Su smiled, and before he could speak, Shi Neyan added very knowingly: "After this matter is over, Shi Mou will thank him with all his might, and all the family property in Chang'an City will be given to Brother Li." ”
Li Su blinked: "Didn't you go bankrupt last time?" ”
"Not counting last time, this time it's a real bankruptcy."
Li Su was very happy: "But if it's disrespectful, I'll accept it, haha......"
With a smile, Li Suzheng said: "Brother Shi, let's say okay, let's be each other's angels!" ”
"Hmm!" Shi Neyan nodded heavily.
Shi Neyan hurriedly handed the Jiuqu beads in his hand forward, Li Su smiled, and whispered a few words in his ear, Shi Neyan listened very carefully, and remembered every word in his heart, the more he listened, the more shocked he became, and then he was ecstatic, and nodded again and again.
The problem was solved, Shi Neyan was so happy that he didn't know how to vent his emotions, and was about to call Lu Dongzan into the hall loudly, when Li Su suddenly stopped him.
"Slow, after you solve this question, it's time for you to come up with the question, have you figured out what to ask?"
Shi Neyan shook his head in astonishment.
Li Su sighed and muttered: "If it weren't for the sake of the friendship between the two countries, I should really ask you to write an IOU of 100,000 yuan, otherwise it would be too much of a loss......"
Shi Neyan hurriedly saluted: "Please also ask Brother Li for advice." ”
Li Su thought about it, and said a few more words in his ear, but Shi Neyan was a little surprised this time, and after silently memorizing Li Su's words word for word, his expression was still full of doubts, and he seemed to not understand why Li Su came up with such a topic.
patted Shi Neyan's shoulder, Li Su said in a deep voice: "Do as I say, you and Princess Wencheng will have lovers and eventually become married, believe me." ”
Shi Neyan looked at Li Su's serious expression, and then nodded heavily.
The scene of the two whispering in the hall had already fallen in the eyes of the monarchs and ministers and the envoys of various countries, although they didn't hear what they were saying, but Shi Neyan's expression suddenly changed from gloomy despair just now to bright, and his eyebrows danced, and the extreme change in his expression in the middle had already explained everything.
Li Shimin's eyes also showed joy, although he didn't know, but he felt that he was convinced that Li Su had untied the dead knot in front of him, although this bastard always likes to cause trouble and cause trouble on weekdays, but it is still worth believing at an important juncture, and he has never disappointed Li Shimin, and this time must be no exception.
Seeing that the two finished speaking, Li Shimin snorted at Li Su and said, "Solved?" ”
Li Su showed an exaggerated expression, pointed at Shi Neyan and said: "Your Majesty, the prince of Zhenla is really a genius, with extraordinary wisdom, and in just a moment of kung fu, His Royal Highness the Prince knows the problem of how to string the Nine Qu Beads." ”
Li Shimin glanced at Li Su meaningfully, then looked at Shi Neyan, and said with a smile: "The prince is really extraordinary, it seems that the real country is destined to have a fate with my Tang Dynasty, haha." ”
Shi Neyan was a little embarrassed, and his face turned red, and it seemed that stealing the fruits of other people's labor made him feel a little ashamed. But at this time, it is the time for the two countries to compete, and he can't admit that this answer was actually thought up by Datang for him, right?
After being embarrassed for a while, Shi Neyan probably thought of the fact that he had bought this answer with all his money, and unconsciously gradually gained confidence, and his expression became firm and confident, as if this answer was indeed his own.
Once a simple person is shameless, it is like opening the door to a new world and discovering that the shameless world is so beautiful.
Li Shimin is also very happy, as long as he can solve the trouble in front of him, the disgraceful means that Li Su just made just now will be gone, life is rare and confused, and the emperor must understand this truth.
"Come on, choose the Tibetan delegation to enter the palace." Li Shimin called out loudly.
Soon, Lu Dongzan and a group of Tibetan envoys walked into the palace.
After entering the hall, Lu Dongzan first looked at Shi Nayan, but when he saw Shi Nayan's expression of self-suppressed excitement and joy, Lu Dongzan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart.
After respectfully saluting Li Shimin, Lu Dongzan turned to look at Shi Neyan and said, "Has His Royal Highness the Prince ever had a way to string nine curves?" ”
Shi Ne said: "It can be solved." ”
Lu Dongzan was taken aback, and then his eyes gradually narrowed, and he said in a deep voice: "Your Highness can't be spoken, can you really solve it?" ”
"Yes."
"How?"
Shi Neyan turned to Li Shimin and saluted, "Please Your Majesty, give the foreign minister a piece of silk thread, a little honey, and an ant." ”
Li Shimin was in a good mood at the moment, and immediately waved his hand when he heard the words: "Allow, the palace people will do it quickly." ”
Soon, the eunuch entered the hall with a wooden tray in both hands, on which was placed a white silk thread, a small jar of honey, and a small porcelain bottle, in which several live ants of different sizes were placed.
Seeing the things prepared by the eunuchs, the ministers and envoys in the palace exchanged heads and talked about each other, and Lu Dongzan's expression had become a little shocked, and his eyes flashed with anxiety from time to time.
Turning his head quickly, Lu Dongzan stared at Li Su for some reason.
Li Su looked him directly and smiled innocently back at him.
When the two of them exchanged their eyes silently, Shi Neyan selected an ant of a modest size from the porcelain vase, and with the assistance of the envoy next to him, gently wound the white silk thread around the ant's body, and then applied a little honey to the surface of a small hole in one of the nine curved beads.
The monarchs and ministers in the hall held their breath, watching every movement of Shi Neyan in amazement, the hall was quiet, only heard Lu Dongzan's gradually worsening breathing, everyone inadvertently looked at his face, and found that Lu Dongzan's face gradually turned pale, everyone's hearts moved, from his expression, how much can be concluded that Shi Nayan's method is not wrong, more precisely, Li Su came up with the right method, although everyone still does not understand the intention of Shi Nayan's every move, however, just look at Lu Dongzan's expression to know, This problem is getting right step by step in Shi Neyan's hands.
Under the stunned gaze of everyone, Shi Neyan stuffed the ants tied with silk threads and kept struggling and writhing into a small hole in one of the nine curved beads, the ants just entered the hole, paused for a moment at the orifice, as if they were familiar with the environment of this new wonderful world, and it didn't take long for the ants to finally move, and crawled towards the small hole coated with honey at the other end of the beads......
Shi Neyan tried to hold his breath, for fear of alarming the ants in the beads, and watched in surprise as the ants struggled to drill into the beads, and soon, the courtiers and envoys who were close suddenly let out exclamations of disbelief.
In front of everyone's eyes, the ant with the silk thread tied came out of the small hole on the other end of the bead that was coated with honey, and along with the ant came out the white silk thread tied to its body!
The thread finally passed through the hole at one end of the bead to the hole at the other.
The monarchs and envoys in the palace were extremely shocked, they didn't expect Li Su's idea to really be able to thread the nine curved beads, this son is young, but his resourcefulness and ability to take the opportunity are unfathomable, Li Shimin often praised him as a "young hero", this comment is really true.
Not only the monarchs and envoys were shocked, but also the princes in the palace were shocked, especially Li Tai, the king of Wei, since the successful stringing of the Jiuqu beads, Li Tai's eyes were about to bulge out, and he looked at Li Su who was smiling indifferently in a daze, and his fat face flashed with jealousy and frustration from time to time.
Now we have seen the mystery, it is very simple, ants love sweetness, especially sensitive to the taste of honey, the honey is applied to the other end of the beads, without the urging of others, the ants themselves will take the initiative to crawl in the direction of the honey, the silk thread tied to it will naturally follow the ants through the inside of the labyrinth of beads around the nine curves, until they climb out of the orifice, and the nine curves of threading will be completed.
It's actually a very simple truth, after seeing the result, everyone in the temple has figured out the trick, but before seeing the result, who can think of this simple truth? Except for Li Su, there was no one.
The difference between genius and mediocrity is not big, and sometimes the difference is only a short moment, but this short moment has drawn a gap between the two.
Li Tai's thoughts at the moment are like this, he thought that he should be on the side of the chasm, so he is often complacent, and arrogant, because he feels that he is qualified to look down on all the mediocrity in the world as a genius, until this moment, he was shocked to realize that in fact, he has only been on the side of the mediocrity, and what is even more ridiculous than the mediocrity is that not only can he not cross the gap, but he did not even find this gap.
The taste is self-aware.
Shi Neyan untied the silk thread from the ant's body, carefully tied the silk thread, and gently lifted the silk thread, and the beads surrounded by nine curves inside had been successfully threaded.
Holding the Jiuqu bead in one hand, Shi Neyan handed it to Lu Dongzan, his face full of a confident smile.
"In the big picture, is that what you said about nine-curved stringing?"
Lu Dongzan's face was extremely ugly, his eyes stared at Shi Neyan viciously, as if he wanted to divide him, for a long time, in the eyes of the kings and ministers in the palace and the envoys of various countries, Lu Dongzan squeezed out an ugly smile, and said: "Yes, this problem has indeed been solved......
Turning his head and glancing at Li Su, Lu Dongzan suddenly snorted, and said meaningfully: "If there is no outsider to help, hehe, the old man admits that His Royal Highness the prince is smart and clever, and he is unparalleled in the world." ”
In a short period of time, Shi Neyan's face thickness has been exercised, and when he heard this, his face was not red or panting, and he nodded calmly and confidently: "Without the help of outsiders, I solved this problem alone." ”
Lu Dongzan raised his eyebrows, and became a little annoyed: "Your Highness, don't be too happy, if the old man can solve your problem next, let's still draw, and then continue the next round of the competition, who wins and who loses today, it's too early to say." ”
Shi Neyan smiled and arched his hand, and said, "In this way, you're welcome, it's time to come up with the question, please listen." ”
