Xiao Rui's hungry look made Emperor Xia feel funny, so he handed the porridge bowl to Hai Dafu, and then gave him a look.

Hai Dafu looked at Xiao Rui with understanding, only to see him look slanderous, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and quickly arranged for the palace maid to bring nine bowls of hot porridge.

Xiao Rui was overjoyed, and immediately took a sip, and immediately felt that his stomach was warm and delicious. But the other princes were still thinking about it, how could they have the heart to drink porridge, only Xiao Yan saw that Xiao Rui was eating happily and joined the ranks.

"Third brother, are you drinking?" Xiao Rui finished drinking his bowl and asked Xiao Ze next to him.

Xiao Ze shook his head.

Xiao Rui immediately picked it up and said with a smile: "My brother will help you do it for you." ”

This move caused the other princes to stare at him one after another, slandering him in his heart that he was a starving ghost and a living, and he even had the heart to eat.

Is the idea something you can eat that you can eat?

After the eclipse, Emperor Xia asked, "How is it?" How many princes have ideas for solving it? ”

Xiao Ze was more free and easy, and said directly: "Erchen is only a shallow learner, and he couldn't think of a way to cross the red rope for a while, so Erchen gave up." ”

Xia Huang nodded and said, "Very good!" If you can't think of it, take the initiative to admit it, what you know is what you know, and what you don't know is not what you don't know. ”

"Huh?" Xiao Zele was happy, it turned out to be an unexpected joy.

"After thinking about it, Erchen can't think of it." The fifth prince, Xiao Yuan, immediately rushed to speak, and also looked at Emperor Xia with burning eyes.

Emperor Xia nodded and asked, "What about the others?" ”

Xiao Yuan: ??

Xiao Rui smiled secretly, this guy wants to be opportunistic and add points, it is strange that Emperor Xia can do what he wants.

Next, several other princes also gave up.

Xiao Rui naturally thought of a way, this piece of cake could be difficult for him? He is a qualified traverser who has experienced three years of simulated five-year college entrance examinations. But in line with the attitude that the enemy does not move and I do not move, it is better to keep a low profile.

Who would have thought that Xiao Yan suddenly raised his hand and asked Emperor Xia: "Father, if the son-in-law recommends meritorious service, can he add points?" ”

Emperor Xia said with a smile: "If the recommendation is meritorious, it will naturally add points!" This shows that you have a discerning eye, which is also a kind of wisdom. Today, I will open three levels for you, and the winner of each level will get ten points, and the person with the highest score after three levels will be the person in charge of this meeting with Dayanguo. King Wu got three points just now, King Tang, if you can recommend meritorious, I will add five points to you! ”

“……”

All the princes rolled their eyes in unison, how could they still play like this? There must be wise masters in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, and anyone who can crack it can add points, why didn't you think of it just now?

Xia Huang smiled and asked, "Who are you going to recommend?" ”

"My seventh brother, King Xian!" Xiao Yan pointed at Xiao Rui and spoke righteously.

Xiao Rui: ??

Xiao Rui clenched his fists, he really wanted to go up and beat him, and he actually recommended himself? It's like a brother in a camp, and he was cheated like this? Don't even say hello?

Xia Huang was happy, and laughed: "You recommend the Seventh Prince Xianwang?" It's good, it's good. King Xian, since King Tang values you so much, if you don't answer well, then I will punish you well! ”

Xiao Rui was even more blindsided.

If I don't answer well, you will punish me? Why didn't you punish the Tang King?

Xiao Rui looked sad and indignant, it turned out that offending Emperor Xia was so dangerous, and he was in danger all the time, didn't he just scare you once, and no one knew, at most a sea rich, if you kill him, you won't be able to kill people.

Ay...

Xiao Rui could only give up his hand, looking like a mournful woman, and said: "Erchen originally had no idea, but just after drinking porridge, the heat filled his body, and his thinking was instantly opened, and his thoughts occupied the high ground, and finally Erchen thought of a way that I didn't know if it was feasible!" ”

"Oh, did you really come up with it?" Xia Huang said with a smile.

Xiao Yan was pleasantly surprised, and couldn't help but say, "Seventh brother, do you really have an idea?" ”

Xiao Rui glanced at him, saying that he didn't want to pay attention to him, and his eyes were definitely threatening him.

It's not that you forced me, you are a pit brother professional.

"I came up with a solution, and I had to try it." Xiao Rui asked weakly.

Emperor Xia said: "Tell me quickly, let's listen!" ”

Everyone looked at Xiao Rui, this was the gaze of the most powerful group of people in the Great Xia Kingdom, fortunately, he had also been in the wind and waves in his previous life, otherwise he would have been really stunned.

"Father, the son's idea is to take a filament, find a few slightly larger ants, tie the filament to the ant, and then let the ants put in from a hole, plug the hole, and only let the filament move. The hole on the other side is smeared with cane sugar or honey, and the ants do the work to find the passage. Xiao Rui explained with a smile: "I don't know if my father and the ministers have seen the ant's nest, the passages in there are intricate, not to mention dozens, or even hundreds. But ants can easily go to the deepest depths because of their innate perception. Tempted by food, ants will find an exit. As long as the silk thread can pass through, the silk thread is tied to the red rope and pulled, and the task is completed. ”

Emperor Xia nodded secretly, coinciding with his idea, but his son was smarter than himself, and he thought of a way in such a short time.

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you think this method is feasible? How many of you are? Emperor Xia glanced at the ministers, and finally fixed his gaze on the eight princes.

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that this method is feasible." Li Mingchong, the first assistant to the cabinet, took the lead and admitted this method.

Although the other civil servants did not want to admit it, they had to admit that it was a solution, after all, they simply could not think of any other way.

Among the princes, Xiao Ze was convinced and said: "Father, the seventh brother has this method is extremely wonderful, and it will definitely be completed!" ”

"That's it, my seventh brother is very smart, this method will definitely work." Xiao Yan was even more excited, and he recommended Seventh Brother with a hot head, and he really did it. Ha, I got a bonus for lying down? Well... Can't let Seventh Brother my true thoughts!

As for the other princes, they looked annoyed and forgot to use small animals.

Emperor Xia said: "Hai Companion, hand over the Qiankun ball to an internal official, and order him to do it quickly according to the law of King Xian." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Hai Dafu smiled and went down to arrange.

Emperor Xia continued: "I also think that this method is feasible, so this first level tests the wisdom of King Xian plus ten points, and King Tang adds five points. ”

"Thank you, Father." Xiao Yanle blossomed.

However, he also understood the fate of offending Xiao Rui, and he was afraid that he would not be able to enter the Xianwang Mansion in the future, so he secretly whispered: "Seventh brother, one point and five thousand taels, my brother owes you twenty-five thousand taels!" ”

Xiao Rui blinked, immediately gave up his hand, and said with great joy: "Son-in-law thank your father!" ”

After the ceremony, he winked at Xiao Yan, and returned to his brother, friend and brother. After all, the two brothers did not have an overnight feud, and if they had, they could be done with a stack of silver tickets.

Emperor Xia ignored their petty deeds, but continued: "The first level is passed, and the second level is based on your literary talents. As the saying goes, come and don't be rude, since Emperor Zhao sent me a birthday gift, then I also have to return the gift. Since the Great Zhao Kingdom is known for its Confucianism and has a long literary style, the second level is that several princes each give an absolute and send it to Emperor Zhao to see if he can come out. Can you have faith? ”

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Jing and Xiao Lie looked happy.

Xiao Feng's face changed greatly, and he immediately protested: "Father, the son's literary talent is a little weak, this topic is unfair." ”

"Shut up, there will be a martial arts competition later, don't you have an advantage?" Emperor Xia glared.

Xiao Feng scratched his head and said, "Oh, yes, the ministers there don't protest." Can I recommend outsiders? ”

This guy has learned to be good too.

Emperor Xia nodded in agreement: "Yes!" You can recommend the hundred officials in the palace to answer for you, and give you half a pillar of incense time, let's begin! ”

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Feng rushed directly into the ranks of civil officials, grabbed a rather literary official, and asked him to help with advice.

Subsequently, Xiao Yuan, Xiao Ming, and Xiao Yan also asked for help.
