To this question, Emperor Li Shimin's answer was - I will marry another princess!

If the envoys of the two countries answer the question of Princess Wencheng, then the Tang Dynasty will marry the two princesses, and there will be no dispute.

It's just that......

Since Datang can marry two princesses, why is there only one princess, and he has made these troublesome things about Xu Xue's son-in-law? It's clearly a deliberate prevarication!

Lu Dongzan's heart was a little uncomfortable, and he had heard some things before, so he had a bad premonition. I'm afraid the princess's exam questions are not that simple!

Li Shimin smiled: "Next, please princess!" ”

On the small building by the Qujiang Pond, after a table of tulle, Li Anning, who was dressed up, was invited out, and Xie Yi stood not far away and saw it, and his heart couldn't help but move. On weekdays, I only think that Li Anning is heroic, lively and cute, but I didn't expect that there would be such a different kind of beauty after dressing, and I really ignored it before.

If this is to marry Tibet, it is really a pity.

When Xie Yi's heart was fluttering just now, a maid slowly came down from the small building and said loudly: "Her Royal Highness the Princess's first question!" ”

As he spoke, he took out a pearl from the tray and said with a smile: "This is the nine-curved pearl where the East China Sea is located, now please pass this silk thread through it......"

As soon as the topic came out, the Tang monarchs and ministers present and the envoys of various ministries, and even the people on the other side of Quchi heard it clearly. It really has nothing to do with poetry and articles, it's just a test of your ingenuity.

It's just that this question is not easy to answer!

The Nine Curved Pearl, as the name suggests, is hollow in the middle, with curved holes and small holes exposed on both sides. But the holes are not straight, but zigzag and twisty, and a soft silk thread passes through them, which is probably ......

Really. After the question appeared, the two envoys were a little stunned, obviously unexpected, and did not know how to answer. Even Lu Dongzan, who is known as a wise man, couldn't help but hesitate to think about it.

After two incense sticks, the two envoys still had no answer.

As a result, the people present could not help but start whispering and pointing, apparently having an opinion on both sides and the question.

Li Shimin just looked at this in his eyes, and occasionally glanced at Xie Yi from a distance. Say nothing else.

Seeing this, the little palace maid said, "In this case, the two envoys should think first, and we will go directly to the second question......"

As soon as the little palace maid waved her hand, there were two hundred forbidden army soldiers carrying long logs in pairs, only to hear the little palace maid say: "These logs are uniform in thickness, but everything needs to have a head and tail, please distinguish the head and tail of the log and mark it, the one with the shortest time wins." ”

Belch......

In the distance of the crowd. Some people have already begun to talk about who came up with these topics, which is really interesting. They all seem to be fair, and there is nothing special about them. No knowledge is required, and people from any state can answer, but it is not easy to give an answer.

One or two pieces of wood may be able to separate the head and tail, but a hundred pieces of wood of uniform thickness. It's hard to tell the end from the beginning. These pieces of wood are not long, and are obviously sawn by man, and most of them choose the middle part of the trunk. It's not easy to tell the difference.

The Hui envoy was dumbfounded by this matter, and he didn't know what to do for a long time, but Lu Dongzan smiled. Everyone suddenly frowned, and said in surprise: "Do the Tubo people have a way?" ”

Lu Dongzan came forward and smiled: "I don't know if you have noticed, but there are traces of wheels in a circle where there are numbers, this is a tree ring, the more bottom, the gap between the tree rings will be wider, and the more up it is relatively narrow, as long as you compare the tree rings of these logs, you can judge the beginning and the end." ”

As he spoke, a group of Tibetan followers stepped forward to investigate, and soon identified some heads and tails.

Seeing this situation, the Hui envoys couldn't help but be a little anxious, and they were obviously lagging behind in this matter. The Tang Dynasty monarchs and envoys from various states were slightly surprised, Lu Dongzan deserved to be a wise man in Tubo, who knew so much subtle knowledge and made such an accurate judgment.

Above the small building, after the tulle, Princess Wencheng Li Anning subconsciously tightened her heart, held the skirt, and turned slightly to see somewhere downstairs.

But seeing Xie Yi shaking his head slightly, she didn't have to worry, since he said so, it should be fine! Since the happiness of this life has been entrusted to him, there will be nothing wrong with it.

Xie Yi was also slightly surprised, the topic was naturally from him, but unexpectedly Lu Dongzan actually knew such a partish knowledge as annual rings, which was really surprising.

Anyway, it's just a question, it's nothing!

The little palace maid was very calm and said with a smile: "What the Tubo minister said is good, this question is correct." ”

The face of the envoy over there, Henuba, sank, and he couldn't say a word for a long time, this kind of topic is obviously not very difficult, why don't you know it?

The little palace maid smiled and said, "Don't worry, let's listen to the third question!" ”

With a slight tap of their palms, they heard the sound of horses' hooves, and everyone went home, but they saw two hundred horsemen leading two hundred snow-white horses in the open space by the lake.

The little palace maid smiled: "These are a hundred mares and a hundred foals, please pair each other's mother and son!" ”

This......

Everyone looked at the mare and the foal, all of them were snow-white fur, and there seemed to be no difference in appearance. Now that it's all out of order, it's not easy to pair again.

Honubal's reaction was quick, and he said with a smile: "We are dealing with horses every day, isn't it just to distinguish and match a hundred horses, why is it difficult?" ”

Lu Dongzan's brows moved slightly, the Tubo people are also nomads, and they are not unfamiliar with horses. But he clearly realized that this matter may not be so simple, but how to answer it? His gaze swept over the Tang Dynasty monarchs, and finally swept over a young man's face, and then looked at it unhurriedly, let the Hui people try it first!

The Hui people were very fast, and immediately dozens of attendants entered the herd of horses, and they didn't know what method they used, and after observing for a while, they quickly matched several pairs of white horse mother and son.

Seeing this situation, everyone couldn't help but be amazed, it is really a nation on horseback, and the Hui people really have a lot of research on Soma, not simple!

Especially when more than 30 pairs of white horse mother and son were matched, the scene was full of surprises, and most people were thinking in their hearts, Tubo and Hui answered one of the three questions correctly, how to say this situation?

Li Zhi, the king of Jin, came to Xie Yi's side at some point and asked, "Xie Changshi, can the Hui people really match all the horses?" ”

"Can't!" Xie Yi's answer was categorical.

"Why?"

Xie Yi smiled: "Because they are human, there are inevitably errors, and does Your Highness know how many ways to match a hundred mares and a hundred foals?" Look at it, the Hui people are not all right. ”

Sure enough, Li Zhi looked up and watched quietly, and after a while, he found that the Hui people had slowed down, and the frequency of making mistakes was getting higher and higher, and even disputes began to arise between his own people. (To be continued.) )
