Chapter 224: Lu Dongzan
Wang Xiang is not the only one who has no heart to watch the cabaret performance.
Perhaps because he had just solved a difficult problem, Barto was full of confidence at this time, and as soon as a dance ended, he couldn't wait to get up and say to Li Er: "Please ask Your Majesty to ask the second question." ”
Li Er was a little dissatisfied with Bato's impatience, but seeing that everyone seemed to be more interested in the problem he raised, he had to let the performer retreat.
Except for the Turks and Tibetans, the other states have lost the opportunity to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty, but they are still looking forward to the next two questions, because Li Er said before that as long as they can solve any of the three problems, they can get the admission quota of the Academy of All Nations.
Seeing that Li Er was preparing to come up with the second question, everyone was calm and prepared.
Li Erchao commanded Chen Gui, who was standing behind him, Chen Gui nodded, and then retreated, and after a while, he walked out holding a gold plate covered with red silk in his hand.
Li Zhi knew that the three questions were all made by Wang Xiang, and immediately asked curiously: "Wang Jiancheng, what is in the gold plate?" ”
Hearing this, the eldest grandson Wuji also leaned over his round head and asked, "Zixin knows?" ”
Li Zhi nodded and said: "The three questions from my father are what Wang Jian Cheng thinks, and the first question is only solved by the Turks and Tibetans, and no one will be able to solve this question, right, Wang Jian Cheng?" ”
The little imp was very upset to see Barto look triumphant when he solved the first problem.
Wang Xiang smiled and said, "It should be, this question is much more difficult than the first question." ”
Hearing him say this, Li Zhi was happy in his heart, it was difficult to be good, it was better to let the little Turkic prince marry a mare and go back......
The eldest grandson Wuji asked curiously, "Why is Zixin so familiar with horse nature?" ”
Wang Xiang glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji angrily, I am not only familiar with horse nature, I am more familiar with human nature.
Chen Gui stood with the gold plate and looked back at Li Er. Seeing Li Er nodding, he lifted the red silk covering the gold plate, and everyone got up to watch.
Inside the gold plate was a huge jade bead, the size of a child's fist, and next to the jade bead was a ball of red silk as thin as a hair.
Chen Gui held up the gold plate and said, "This pearl is called the Pearl of Nine Songs. ”
"Nine Songs Pearl?"
There was a lot of discussion in the hall, and yesterday the envoys of Ma Liguo made a nine-song chain that stumped everyone, and in the end, it was the Ruyi princess of the Tang Dynasty who untied the nine-song chain. I didn't expect Datang to get another nine-song pearl today.
"Since it's a pearl of nine songs, why is there only one bead?" Yesterday's Nine Songs had nine gold rings.
Hearing a question from an envoy from a state, Chen Gui smiled and said: "There are many small holes inside this pearl, which are zigzag but connected to each other, so it is called the Pearl of Nine Songs, not nine beads." ”
After speaking, he handed the beads to the envoys of Fanbang and asked them to pass them on one by one.
When the beads returned to Chen Gui's hand again, and then saw the ball of silk thread on the gold plate, a smart person had already guessed what the second question was.
Li Er, who was sitting above, spoke: "The second problem I came up with is to use silk threads to pass through the Nine Curved Pearl and not damage the Pearl. ”
As soon as the words fell, there was an uproar in the hall, and Takatayang's face moved, and he said secretly: Sure enough.
There are more than nine holes in that pearl. And it's winding, and it's easier said than done to thread a thread through it.
Bato immediately asked Takatayan, "Teacher, how do you get it?" ”
Takatayan smiled bitterly, he was not an omniscient god, how could he think of a way so quickly.
"Bato, how can the problem of the Tang Emperor be so easy to solve, and the teacher also needs time to figure out a solution."
Dankiel shook his head helplessly, his younger brother was frizzy.
There are envoys from Fanbang who want to go through the nine-song pearl and silk thread to try to thread it. But they were stuck in less than half an inch, Li Er and Empress Changsun looked at each other and shook their heads and smiled. If it was so easy to put on, it would not be a new problem for the prince.
When Wang Xiang raised this problem that day, he asked Li Er and Empress Changsun to think of a way to solve it, of course Li Er couldn't think of a fart solution, and Empress Changsun finally came up with a solution under Wang Xiang's small reminder, but it had already made Wang Xiang very impressed.
Fang Xuanling stroked the beard of his chin and asked the eldest grandson Wuji, "Is there a way to solve this problem?" ”
Eldest Sun Wuji shook his head and sighed: "There are more than nine holes in the jade beads, and it is difficult to penetrate the silk thread, it is difficult." ”
After sighing, he whispered to Wang Xiang and asked, "Zixin." Did you deliberately create a problem that they couldn't solve at all? ”
Seeing the expression of the eldest grandson Wuji, I have seen through you, Wang Xiang was speechless for a while, I really thought that everyone was the same as you.
Li Zhi tilted his head and muttered in a low voice: "It would be nice if this silk thread could pass through by itself......"
Wang Xiang sat next to Li Zhi and heard his muttering, and was shocked: This little ghost is terrible.
Empress Eldest Sun came up with a solution after listening to Wang Xiang's reminder that day.
This question is a test of true wisdom, not something that can be solved by experience, and Takatayan frowned and couldn't think of a practical way for a long time, so he could only shake his head at Bato. Bato suddenly became impatient, if even Takatayan could not think of a way, no one would be able to solve this problem.
Danqier also felt pity in her heart when she saw the teacher shaking her head, and couldn't help but think of Chu Niang, if she was there, maybe there would be a way......
The nine-song pearl was passed in the hands of the envoys of Fanbang a few times, and everyone said that they could not pass through the pearl with a thin line.
Only the Turks and Tibetans did not speak, and Li Er asked with a smile at Bato, "Is there a way for the little prince Bato to solve this problem?" ”
Takatayan said that there was no way, and although Bato was very unwilling, he could only shake his head and say, "I can't solve it." ”
Li Er smiled when he heard this: "Since that's the case......"
"Your Majesty, I have a way to solve this problem."
Li Er and Wang Xiang were both startled, and when they looked up, it was the Tibetan envoy who spoke...... The young man next to him.
Li Eryi saw that it was not the Tibetan envoy who spoke, but a young man who looked a few years older than Wang Xiang, frowned and asked, "Who are you?" ”
The Tibetan envoy hurriedly got up and said: "Your Majesty, he is my nephew, he has been yearning for the wealth and prosperity of the Tang Dynasty since he was a child, and this time he came to Chang'an with me to see it." ”
"I see." Li Er nodded and smiled at the young man, "You said you have a way to solve this problem?" ”
"Yes, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty."
The young man looked very confident, and his words and deeds were very different from those of other Fanbangs, but he had a bit of the temperament of a Tang literati, Li Erzheng wanted to ask him what way he thought of and suddenly remembered a sentence that Wang Xiang had asked himself before, and asked the ghost: "What's your name?" ”
The young man saluted Li Er and said respectfully, "My name is Lu Dongzan." (To be continued.) )
