Yipin Tang

Chapter 225

Wang Xiang is not the only one who is not in the mood to watch singing and dancing performances.

Perhaps it was because he had just solved a difficult problem, and Barto was full of confidence at this time. Right after the dance was over, he couldn't wait to get up and said to Li Er: "Your Majesty, please come up with the second question."

Li Er was a little dissatisfied with Barto's impatience, but seeing that everyone in His Highness seemed to be more interested in the problems he raised, he had no choice but to let the performers retreat.

Except for Turkic and Tubo, all other countries have lost the chance to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty, but they are still looking forward to the next two questions, because Li Er said before that as long as they can solve any one of the three difficult questions, they can get Entrance quota of Wan Guo Academy.

Seeing that Li Er was about to ask the second question, everyone calmed down and prepared.

Li Erchao gave an order to Chen Gui who was standing behind him, Chen Gui nodded, then retreated, and came out after a while holding a gold plate covered with red silk.

Li Zhi knew that the three questions were all written by Wang Xiang, so he asked curiously: "Wang Jiancheng, what's in that gold plate?"

Upon hearing the words, Changsun Wuji leaned over Yuanyuan's head and asked, "Zixin knows?"

Li Zhi nodded and said: "The three questions that my father asked were thought of by Wang Jiancheng. The first question was only solved by Turks and Tubo. No one can solve this question, right, Wang Jiancheng?" ?”

The little devil was very upset to see Barto's triumphant look when he solved the first problem.

Wang Xiang smiled and said, "Probably, this question is much more difficult than the first question."

Hearing what he said, Li Zhi felt happy, it's better if it's difficult, it's better for the little Turkic prince to marry a mare back home...

Changsun Wuji asked curiously, "Why is Zixin so familiar with horse nature?"

Wang Xiang gave Changsun Wuji an angry look. I am not only familiar with horse nature, but I am also more familiar with human nature.

Chen Gui stood up to His Highness holding the gold plate, looked back at Li Er, saw Li Er nodding and lifted the red silk covering the gold plate, everyone got up to watch.

Inside the gold plate was a huge jade bead, the size of a child's fist, and beside the jade bead was a ball of red silk thread as thin as a hair.

Chen Gui held up the gold plate and said, "This pearl is called Jiuqu Mingzhu."

"Nine Curved Pearl?"

There was a lot of discussion in the hall. The envoy of Ma Liguo made a nine-curve chain yesterday, which baffled everyone. In the end, Princess Ruyi of Datang untied the nine-curve chain. Unexpectedly, Datang made another nine-curve pearl today.

"Since it is a nine-curved pearl, why is there only one bead?" Yesterday's Jiuqu Lianhuan had nine golden rings.

Hearing the question from Fanbang's envoy, Chen Gui smiled and said: "There are many small holes inside this pearl, which are curved but connected with each other. That's why it's called the Nine-curved Pearl, not because there are nine beads."

After speaking, he handed the beads to the Fanbang envoys and asked them to pass them on one by one.

When the beads returned to Chen Gui's hands again, and seeing the ball of silk thread on the gold plate, smart people had already guessed what the second question was.

Li Er, who was sitting above, said, "The second problem I faced was to pass the silk thread through the nine-curved pearl without damaging it."

As soon as the words fell, there was an uproar in the hall, and Takatayan's expression changed, and he said inwardly: That's right.

There are more than nine holes in that pearl, and they are winding and winding. It is not easy to pass a silk thread through.

Barto immediately asked Takatayan, "Teacher, how do you do it?"

Takatayan smiled wryly, he is not an omniscient man of God, how could he think of a solution so quickly.

"Ba Tuo, the Tang Emperor's problem is not so easy to solve, the teacher needs time to find a solution."

Dan Qier shook his head helplessly, his younger brother has a frizzy temper.

An envoy from Fanbang asked Chen Gui for a nine-curved pearl and silk thread to try to thread, but they got stuck within half an inch. Li Er and Empress Changsun looked at each other and shook their heads with a smile. The prince has a new problem.

When Wang Xiang raised this problem that day, he asked Li Er and Empress Changsun to think of a solution. Of course, Li Er couldn't think of a solution, and Empress Changsun finally came up with Wang Xiang's little reminder. The method, but Wang Xiang has already admired it very much.

Fang Xuanling stroked the beard on his chin and asked Changsun Wuji: "Can the auxiliary machine solve this problem?"

Changsun Wuji shook his head and sighed: "There are more than nine holes in the jade bead. It is very difficult to pass the silk thread through."

After sighing, he asked Wang Xiang in a low voice: "Zixin, did you deliberately trick them with an unsolvable question?"

Seeing Changsun Wuji's expression that I've seen through you, Wang Xiang was speechless for a while, thinking that everyone is like you.

Li Zhi tilted his head and muttered in a low voice: "It would be great if this silk thread could pass through by itself..."

Sitting next to Li Zhi, Wang Xiang was startled when he heard his muttering: This kid is amazing.

Empress Changsun came up with a solution after listening to Wang Xiang's reminder that day.

This question is a test of true wisdom, and it cannot be solved by experience. Takatayan frowned and thought hard for a long time but couldn't think of a practical solution. He could only shake his head at Bator, who suddenly became impatient. , if even Takatayan can't figure out a way, no one can solve this problem.

Seeing the teacher shaking his head, Danqier felt a pity in his heart, and couldn't help but think of Chu Niang. If she was here, maybe there would be a way...

The Jiuqu Pearl was passed around several times in the hands of Fanbang envoys, and everyone said that they could not pass through the Pearl with a thin thread.

Only Turkic and Tubo did not speak, Li Er asked Bator with a smile: "Can little prince Bator solve this problem?"

Takatayan even said that there was no other way, but even though Bator was very unwilling, he could only shake his head and said, "It can't be solved."

Li Er heard the words and said with a smile: "In that case..."

"Your Majesty, I have a way to solve this problem."

Both Li Er and Wang Xiang were startled. Looking up, it was the Tubo envoy who spoke... the young man next to him.

Li Er saw that the person speaking was not a Tubo envoy, but a young man who looked a few years older than Wang Xiang, and asked with a frown, "Who are you?"

The Tubo envoy quickly got up and said, "Your Majesty, he is my nephew. He has longed for the prosperity and prosperity of the Tang Dynasty since he was a child. This time he came to Chang'an with me to experience it."

"I see." Li Er nodded and smiled at the young man, "You said you have a way to solve this problem?"

"Yes, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty."

The young man looks very confident, and his words and deeds are very different from other foreign people, but he has a bit of Tang literati's temperament. Li Er was about to ask him what he thought of, and suddenly remembered a sentence Wang Xiang asked himself before. :"What's your name?"

The young man bowed to Li Erxing and said respectfully, "My name is Lu Dongzan."
