Chapter 255: The Prince's Troubles
That night, Lu Ning returned to the mansion and just wanted to go to see Li Xinmin and discuss with her the Lu family's plan to create a man.
Suddenly, Nuan Yu, a maid in the room, came to see him with a note.
"Sir, this is the person who opened the door and found a paper ball at the door of our house, with some strange words written on it, and everyone doesn't recognize what it means."
Lu Ning opened the note and looked at it, only to see a few lines written on it in small block letters, to the effect that it said.
The prince of Gao, Wang Couple, went to the warm incense courtyard last night to be chic, because he did not bring a small umbrella according to the regulations of the Ming Dynasty, and was arrested by the officials of the Terracotta Division.
If it weren't for begging Prince Annan to buy him a small umbrella, I'm afraid he would have to go to the prison in Yingtianfu to eat imperial food now.
After he came back, he held a grudge and discussed with his dog-headed military advisor Ma Angkong, and came up with some tricky questions to embarrass the monarchs and ministers of the Ming Kingdom, so please prepare for it tomorrow morning.
Due to the limited capacity of the note, it was not specified which three questions they were.
Lu Ning thought about it and immediately sent someone to the Construction Division to forward it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
The prince reported to Zhu Yuanzhang, and as a result, Zhu Yuanzhang sent the eunuch Xiao Songzi to come over and give him a secret decree: Tomorrow the court will be arranged by you with full authority, and these questions will also be answered by you, and if you can't answer them, you will play the board!
Zhu Yuanzhang admires Lu Ning very much, and even if he can't answer, he may not be able to beat him. But if you don't say that, this product will definitely be passive and don't take it to heart.
Sure enough, the next day, envoys from fifteen small countries came to Mingtang to meet Zhu Yuanzhang.
In front of all the envoys, Prince Gao immediately sent his dog-headed military advisor Ma Ankong, saying that they had three questions to ask the capable people of the Ming Dynasty.
If you can't answer, then I'm sorry, and you Ming will surrender to our high country in the future.
Now the national strength of the Ming Dynasty is unprecedentedly strong, hearing the prince say this, not only Zhu Yuanzhang felt incredible, but even Prince Annan thought in his heart.
"Alas, sometimes, it's still very happy to be a frog at the bottom of a well."
Zhu Yuanzhang almost laughed angrily. Said right away.
"I am a great treasure, an outstanding person, if you have any questions, just ask, you will definitely be satisfied. Lu Ning, you come to receive you, you have the final say in this court today. ”
Ma Ang walked out proudly and asked.
"I ask you, where do you say the center of this world is?"
Lu Ning didn't want to answer directly.
"You are the right person to ask this question, I happen to know that I am the center of the world, and the center of this world is of course under the dragon seat of my great tomorrow!"
This answer made Ma Ang angry and thunderous. Said.
"You are talking nonsense, how can you prove it?"
Lu Ning smiled indifferently and replied.
"If you don't believe me, just take a ruler and measure it, and see if it is the center of this world under the dragon seat of my great tomorrow?"
Ma Ang's air seemed to be about to cry, and his heart said that when I finished measuring, I was afraid that the grass on the grave would be three feet high.
In desperation, I had to say stupidly.
"You win. The second question is, how many stars are there in the sky? ”
At this time, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty scolded this Ma Ang for being shameless, this thing flashed and flashed, and it was all over the sky at night. Who can count?
In fact, as a person who crosses, Lu Ning knows an answer.
That is, without the help of instruments, there are about 6,000 planets visible to the naked eye.
But the question is clearly unconvincing, and it is more of a brain teaser than a scientific one.
So he smiled weirdly.
"There are as many grasses as there are in my earth, and there are as many stars in the sky as there are."
Ma Ang was so angry that he spat out fragrant fragrance: "You are talking nonsense, there is no basis!" ”
Lu Ning smiled mysteriously and continued.
"If you don't believe me, just go count it, I'll be patient enough for you anyway."
Hearing Lu Ning's answer, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty all felt that they were angry, and some of them were even more inferior.
"The Duke of Fuguo allows you to count, then go and count, and then tell me how much grass I have in Daming? How many stars are there in the sky? ”
Ma Angkong's face was flushed, so he had to announce that Lu Ning had answered the question correctly.
At this time he was so angry that his beard under his chin was blowing up, and he had an idea.
"Da Mingren, let me ask you again, how many beards do you say I have under my face?"
The military minister was stunned, I heard that this guy often brushes his beard, maybe he has already figured it out in private.
If you can't answer, wouldn't you be smiling and generous.
The eunuch Xiao Songzi walked over and said.
"Grandpa, Your Majesty secretly ordered, it's okay if you can't answer, anyway, we also won two games, if they are more aggressive, let's give them another one, just convince people."
Lu Ning secretly admired in his heart, and said in his heart.
"Uncle, this ability to learn and sell is very high."
So he quietly instructed Xiao Songzi to bring a yellow dog over.
After a while, Xiao Songzi led a yellow dog to the Jinluan Palace.
Ma Angkong was still showing off his might there and said.
"You can't answer, you can't let the dog go, it's so shameless!"
Lu Ning replied with a harmless smile on his face.
"Who said we couldn't answer, come and see!"
As he spoke, he pointed to the dog's tail and said calmly.
"There are as many hairs on a dog's tail as there are in your beard, don't believe you count!"
Hearing his playful answer, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military burst into laughter, and even Zhu Yuanzhang leaned back and fell in laughter.
"You... It's too much of a deception! ”
The Venus fluttered in front of Maang's eyes, his beard trembled, and he fainted backwards with a clatter.
At this time, the prince of Gaoguo hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down to admit defeat and said to Lu Ning.
"We have a good Dongzhu here, how many do you need, you can make a price, and we will send it to your Ming court immediately."
