Yipin Tang

Chapter 223 The First Problem

This is Wang Xiang's proposal. Since there are many foreigners who want to make peace with Datang, let them "compete for posts", and the final result of this competition may be that the entire army is wiped out.But in this way, they can only blame themselves for "not being good at learning", so let's continue to work hard in the coming year.

For the Fanbang who are arguing endlessly below, this is the best way at present, because they also know that it is impossible to satisfy all the Fanbang who propose marriage.

The little prince Bator turned his head and glanced at Takatayan and said confidently: "Your Majesty, please come up with a question."

Not to be outdone, the envoys from Tubo and other countries all bowed to Li Er and said, "Your Majesty, please write a question."

The smile on Li Er's face became brighter, and Wang Xiang, who was sitting next to Li Zhi, also smiled.

Seeing Wang Xiang laughing, Li Zhi asked worriedly: "Wang Jiancheng, what if someone in those foreign countries answers the three questions raised by the emperor?"

Wang Xiang smiled and said, "Don't worry, the questions raised by His Majesty are not so easy to answer."

The reason why he is so confident is that he told Li Er those three questions. In fact, the three questions were originally raised by Li Er. Only one foreign envoy present, Lu Dongzan of Tubo, answered these three questions.And Wang Xiang had already known to Li Er that the envoy sent by Tubo this time was not named Lu Dongzan, so these three questions were quite safe.

Li Er saw that the princes and envoys from various countries had no objection to his proposal, so he laughed and said, "Well, I will ask the first question first."

"Come on!"

As soon as the order was given, there was a sound of neighing horses outside the hall, and everyone turned their heads to look outside the hall curiously. Li Er got up and left his seat and said with a smile, "Everyone, go out with me."

Everyone was at a loss, and followed Li Er out of the Linde Hall. The original Cuju field was occupied by a group of large and small horses. Driven by more than a dozen grooms, the big horses and small horses stood still in large pieces.

Seeing that everyone was unclear, Li Er smiled and said, "This is the first question I asked."

"There are one hundred mares and one hundred foals on the Cuju field. The hundred foals were born to the hundred mares respectively. If anyone can tell which foal is which mare Ma Suosheng will solve this problem."

As soon as this remark came out, the foreign envoys present were all talking.

What kind of subject is this?It's too simple!
Hearing everyone's discussion, Li Zhi also became anxious, pushed Wang Xiang who was standing beside him and said in a low voice: "Wang Jiancheng, the question given by the emperor is too simple, how can the little pony not recognize himself?" Where's your mother? Well, what if they all answered!"

Seeing Li Zhi's anxious expression, Wang Xiang smiled and said, "Jane didn't know until she tried it."

The Fanbang envoys present seemed to have the same idea as Li Zhi. People may not recognize it, but how could the foals not recognize their mother? Just pull the foals one by one in front of the mares, which mares Get close to it and you will know which mare the foal is born from.

For a while, all the envoys from various countries rushed to express their thoughts, for fear that Li Er would not admit it if it was too late.

"Everyone thinks this method is feasible?" Li Er asked with a slight smile.

"Absolutely doable!"

"This method can certainly tell which mare the foal was born from."

"My Yanqi is rich in good horses, as long as you bring the foal to the mare, you can tell the difference."

……

Hearing everyone's "yes", the smile on Li Er's face became stronger, and he said: "Since you are so confident, please go forward and try, as long as you can tell which mare the foal is This question that arises will be solved for you.”

As soon as Li Er spoke, the princes and envoys from all over the world rushed into the Cuju field, grabbed the rein of the pony from the groom's hand, and pulled the pony to the other side of the mare. Get close to the horse.

Takatayan frowned as he watched the two big Turkic men rushing into the cuju field to grab the pony. He felt that Li Er would never ask such a simple question.Another person who frowned and thought was the Tubo envoy who refuted the little prince Batu in the Linde Palace earlier. He was young and had a temperament that other foreigners did not have. This temperament was similar to that of Tang literati. Somewhat close.

Li Er and a group of officials from the Tang Dynasty stood outside the cuju field and watched the commotion inside. They couldn't help laughing. So many people suddenly broke into the cuju field and immediately disturbed the mares and foals in the field. The mare was originally calm. He and the little pony panicked all of a sudden, kicking and neighing incessantly.However, most of the Fanbang people are strong and powerful, and despite being tossed and disheveled, they finally dragged the foal closer to the mare.

Unexpectedly, no matter which mare they lead the foal to, both the mare and the foal will struggle desperately, and there is no trace of "mother-child friendship".

After several attempts, some foals were even kicked and injured by the irritable mare, whining pitifully, and the Fanbang people who went in to pull the horses were all exhausted.

Not only Fanbang's princes and envoys were dumbfounded, but also the officials of the Tang Dynasty who were watching the show.

In fact, not only them, but even Li Eryi doubted what Wang Xiang said at the beginning. There is no reason why mother and child do not recognize each other. Different natures, people who are not very familiar with the nature of horses will not know at all. When a horse is frightened after eating and drinking, it will not recognize its relatives. That's why it often happens that war horses trample on their own people in panic on the battlefield. , The frightened horses don't even recognize their own children, how can they recognize the guys riding on their horses.

Li Er did not fully believe what Wang Xiang said until he sent people to do experiments, so today he asked people to get a hundred well-fed mares and foals, and asked Fan Bang to send people in to try it out for himself. Surprise well-fed mares and foals.

So far it seems to be working fine.

Seeing Li Er, a Fanbang man running out of the Cuju field with a disheveled face, he felt very happy, but those Fanbang people were not in such a good mood. One of the envoys from the small country of Fanbang doubted: "Could it be that these foals are not those mothers at all?" Born of a horse?"

Li Er snorted disdainfully when he heard the words, and the Fanbang envoy who felt he had "gone his tongue" immediately retracted his head in fright, Li Er was still very dignified when he was angry.

Takatayan and the young man from Tubo looked contemptuously at the most miserable foreign envoy who was tossed by the horse. How could the majestic Tang emperor do such a thing? There must be some other reason.
