Chapter 307: The Wise Man Moves Mountains
"Mother and child nature, who can cut it off?" Looking at the pair of intimate white horse mother and son, Xie Yi sighed softly.
The groom stepped forward and lifted the horse's hooves, but the numbers below matched them one by one, and there was no confusion. Its practical use is not to check the number, just to see the scene in front of you, and everyone will know it.
There is no doubt that Xie Yi answered the three questions in a very simple way, which made the faces of the envoys of the two countries who had nothing to do about it very gloomy.
Especially Lu Dongzan, known as a wise man, but he was helpless in front of the "tricks" of young people in the Central Plains.
Xie Yi just smiled faintly at this, how to say it? This trick can also be regarded as treating others in the way of others.
In the Potala and Jokhang Temples, there are some frescoes, in which a story is recorded, called - Six Trial Marriage Envoys.
It is said that when Lu Dongzan went to Chang'an to marry Princess Wencheng, the Tang Dynasty came up with six exam questions, three of which were moved out by Xie Yi in the same way.
There are also three ways for the messenger to drink a hundred jars of wine and eat a hundred sheep in one day, and to knead the sheepskins; and then there is the discerning of the roads in the palace; In the end, it also scored to distinguish the real and fake princesses.
According to the mural, the resourceful Lu Dongzan faced these problems and easily solved them one by one.
Is that really the case?
In Xie Yi's view, these stories should have been fabricated by later generations in order to praise Lu Dongzan, the Tibetan sage, and such things are common in ancient history, so there is nothing strange.
The reason why it was concluded that it was apocryphal, because it was impossible for Gaine to distinguish the road of the palace and distinguish the real princess from the fake could not have happened, which was obviously unreasonable. Moreover, marrying and pro-princess in the Tang Dynasty is a political event, and there will be so many complicated things.
Therefore, most of these are stories made up by later people in order to make this relationship more legendary, and they can only be listened to.
But Xie Yi thought it was quite interesting, since the story was made up by the Tubo people, it was better to take it out and test them. Unfortunately, Lu Dongzan only answered one of the questions.
Half of the original six trial marriages have passed. Xie Yi felt that there was no need to try the other three questions, just play the game. Now it's time to play with something real.
The little palace maid smiled: "Three questions, Huaiyang Hou answered well...... The princess originally had a total of four questions, and the first three tests were smart, flexible, and reasonable; The princess said that being a man also requires patience and resourcefulness, so this fourth question is called - the wise man moves mountains! ”
A wise man moves mountains?
Everyone is moving in their hearts, the Central Plains allusion Yugong moved mountains, that is to pay attention to the importance of perseverance and perseverance, and now suddenly a wise man moves mountains. Is it an opportunistic way to move mountains? Lu Dongzan, who was originally known as a wise man, was a little surprised. Something is unclear.
After seeing the little palace maid's order, a group of soldiers rowed a boat on a small island in the middle of the lake. Then the sandbags were erected, and soon a small tower-like hill appeared.
The little palace maid smiled: "One person, one stick of incense time, can raze this mound to the ground with the help of any utensils." ”
"How is this possible?" He Nuba asked rhetorically, in his opinion, this was an impossible thing to accomplish, and it was deliberately embarrassing and humiliating by the Tang Dynasty.
Lu Dongzan looked at the hill in the lake and was silent, it seemed impossible to complete. But there is a way to do it. Xie Yi's easy solution is the best example, and this hill naturally has a way.
But what should I do?
Lu Dongzan said in a deep voice: "I'm old, I can't do it myself, let's see the methods of the Tang people, right?" ”
Xie Yi saw this. smiled: "Please wait!" ”
Immediately gave an order, Li Anning on the small floor was invited down, and walked to the royal seat in the distance under the escort of the palace maid with a veil and sat down.
Xie Yi continued: "Everyone by the lake, please stay away. Look as far away as possible. ”
What's the matter, what kind of big battle is this going to play? Still need someone to avoid? But seeing that even Her Royal Highness the princess has avoided it, naturally she doesn't dare to delay. Even the people watching from the other side of the lake were asked to stand back. The banks of the huge Qujiang River are now empty.
When everything was ready, a man appeared in the pool rowing a small boat, and I saw him take out a few things in the shape of bamboo baskets and put them in a cave at the bottom of the small one, and then arrange something similar to wiring, light a candle, and quickly row the boat away, as if there was a great danger.
Everyone was far away, and they could only see the hidden fire burning under the "hill", and after a while, suddenly the fire brightened, and a deafening sound spread.
At that moment, the soldier who had already left the small boat far away and lit the fire didn't think about it, and threw himself directly into the water, and his life and death were unknown for a while.
The loud roar and the smoke and dust made everyone a little confused, and when they came back to their senses, they found that the hill in the middle of the lake had disappeared and had really been razed to the ground. The raised sediment is gradually falling into the lake, and even the open space on the lakeside, and the water on the lake is shaking violently, and there are several carp corpses floating on the side of the island, apparently directly shocked to death.
Shock!
Intense shock!
Everyone's eyes widened, what could produce such an earth-shaking and earth-shattering effect? Being able to cut off a hill in an instant is so powerful. Just imagine, if there is a group of people there, where is there still life at this moment?
I'm afraid that even the corpses have long since become fine slag, and there is nothing left, not even the fish under the water, let alone people. The soldier who had gone to light the fire by boat climbed up from the water, but it seemed that he had been wounded, and after barely holding on to Chang'an, he was immediately carried away for examination and treatment.
Looking at this scene, Xie Yi turned around and said: "This is the earth-shattering thunder, the latest firearm in my Tang Army, which has the effect of opening mountains and splitting stones." ”
Li Shimin has always wanted to see the effect of the earth-shaking thunder, and he had many ideas about the effect before this, but he didn't expect to achieve this effect. After seeing it at this moment, I was inevitably a little shocked in my heart, and I couldn't speak for a long time.
In fact, the people present, except for Li Zhi, the king of Jin, who had seen the effect of earth-shaking thunder on the Dingxiang grassland, everyone's eyes widened at this moment, and they were in deep shock. Is this the thing that suppressed the Turks? Is this the thing that wiped out the entire army of Xue Yantuo?
No wonder Xie Yi is a marquis, as long as there is this thing, the marquis is considered to be a few. With only this one credit, the Xie family can be eternal.
And the Tibetan Prime Minister Lu Dongzan stood aside and didn't speak for a long time. The previous few questions were just farce in his opinion, even if Datang resigned. In the end, it is not certain whether you can marry a princess, and it is not determined by those few questions.
But at this moment, Lu Dongzan is very sure that it is no longer fun to ask to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty. Because the Tang Dynasty court used a very high-profile way to say the word "no" to Tibet. (To be continued.) )
