Chapter 156 The benevolent Emperor of Tang Dynasty
Obviously, they couldn't figure out the third question for a while.
But as long as they are given some time, they will definitely be able to solve this third question.
"Your Majesty, this third test question is too easy. Common people have already solved it."
Just at this time, the eight-year-old child Di Renjie opened his mouth and said, his voice was childish, but what he said shocked everyone present.
How long has it been?
Does this eight-year-old Di Renjie have a solution?
Is this bragging?
Even though Li Shimin was an emperor who was unfazed by favors and humiliations, his eyes flashed with a strange color.
"Did you really solve the third test question?"
He couldn't help but ask.
Before, he had been thinking hard for a long time before he came up with the third question.
But in the end, he was untied by eight-year-old Di Renjie in the blink of an eye.
This...is impossible!
Li Shimin always felt that this was incredible.
If Di Renjie is a minister with knowledge and reputation, it would make sense.
But Di Renjie is just an eight-year-old child.
Could it be that the Di Renjie in front of him is really a genuine child prodigy?
Is the name of a child prodigy not earned in vain?
"Yeah."
Di Renjie nodded heavily.
"The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the Prime Minister of Tubo can also solve this problem."
Lu Dongzan also spoke quickly, showing a confident attitude of winning.
"This..."
Li Shimin seemed a little embarrassed.
"Your Majesty, let the Tibetan Prime Minister who came from afar come to solve the problem first."
The smart Di Renjie would not embarrass Li Shimin, and he also made one point.
It is very likely that Lu Dongzan will not be able to answer the third question.
"Okay, we are guests."
Li Shimin looked approvingly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Lu Dongzan's face was filled with joy and he quickly thanked him.
"The Xinxing Princess has a red cinnabar mole on her right arm, so as long as the maids stretch out their right arms, whoever has a red cinnabar mole on their right arm will be the Xinxing Princess."
He also spoke.
Previously, he had already approached an old lady who was serving the Xinxing Princess to secretly inquire about some of the Xinxing Princess's appearance and characteristics.
At first, the old lady was unwilling to cooperate.
But in the end, he gave some money, but the old lady didn't cooperate obediently.
The ministers present frowned, this Lu Dongzan was really prepared.
It seems that Lu Dongzan will answer the third question correctly.
"Sure enough, Lu Dongzan won."
Investors were not surprised.
However, Ye Xiao vaguely felt that something might happen.
"Really?"
Li Shimin said something ambiguous.
After that, he also motioned to the three hundred palace maids present to extend their right arms.
Lu Dongzan quickly found Princess Xinxing.
As a result, just looking at it made him feel dizzy and almost out of breath.
Each of the three hundred palace maids in front of me has a cinnabar-red mole on her right arm.
This made Ta Ludong Chan have the urge to vomit blood.
"Lu Dongzan, which one do you think is my emerging princess, or do you think I have three hundred emerging princesses?"
Li Shimin said with a half-smiling expression.
It seems that Lu Dongzan, a very clever Tubo wise man, is like a ridiculous clown in his eyes.
The officials' expressions were also slightly unnatural.
Just now, they thought that Lu Dongzan had cracked the third question.
As expected, there is no such thing.
"Is this still possible?"
Investors stared blankly at the video footage, completely stunned.
"There is another way, there is another way."
Lu Dongzan was out of breath and hurriedly spoke.
"Oh, say."
Li Shimin's tone was calm.
"As far as I know, Princess Xinxing likes to use rose scented powder the most. And this rose scented powder is fragrant and unique. Therefore, as long as you come up and smell it, whoever has such a fragrance on your body, then that person must be the real Xingxing
Princess!"
Lu Dongzan gritted his teeth and spoke with a serious expression.
"Really? Lu Dongzan, then you smell it. I want to see how you can find my emerging princess with the scent."
Li Shimin said casually.
"Okay!"
Ludong nodded.
"Shasha!"
He strode forward and took a look at a palace maid with a red cloth covering her head.
The more he walked around, the uglier his face became.
This method doesn’t work at all!
Every palace lady with a red cloth on her head has a fragrant rose powder on her body.
This made Lu Dongzan realize something.
Could it be that he was deceived by that money-grubbing old lady?
It is really possible.
In the end, he just took a quick look and returned to his original position.
"Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, this method will not work."
Lu Dongzan's face was filled with shame and he lowered his head, having no shame to look directly at Li Shimin.
"I don't know, but is there any way? I'll give you one last chance!"
Li Shimin's tone was calm.
"This..."
Lu Dongzan hesitated, and he quickly started to think.
In just a split second, his eyes lit up.
Because he unexpectedly came up with a way in his mind.
"There is a way! There is a way!"
Lu Dongzan's face was full of joy.
This time he will definitely be able to crack the third test question asked by Li Shimin.
Li Shimin smiled slightly and said nothing.
"The princess is a royal noblewoman, a noble daughter of the royal family. She has been blessed with good fortune since she was born. Therefore, you can see a seven-color auspicious cloud above the princess's head. Look, the seven-color auspicious cloud above the princess' head has appeared." p>
Lu Dongzan said with a smile, also looking up at the sky.
At the same time, he was also secretly observing whether the three hundred palace maids with red cloths on their heads behaved strangely.
However.
He failed again.
Three hundred palace maids with their heads covered with red cloth just stood there quietly, motionless.
"How could this be?"
Suddenly Lu Dongzan collapsed on the ground.
His face was extremely pale, and he seemed to be more than ten years older.
He lost!
He really lost!
What a complete defeat!
"This doesn't work?"
Investors thought that Lu Dongzan's third method would definitely work, and the palace maids would definitely set their sights on the princess pretending to be a palace maid.
Unexpectedly, the maids were all indifferent.
The next second, Lu Dongzan got up from the ground again, straightening his old body. He stared at the eight-year-old Di Renjie with bright eyes.
"No! The Prime Minister of Tubo has not been defeated yet! Can you, an eight-year-old child, think of a way to find the princess?"
"Just because you can't do it, doesn't mean I can't do it."
Di Renjie muttered and blinked his big cute eyes to fight back.
It seems that even when faced with this Tubo Prime Minister Lu Dongzan, he has no fear.
"In order to prevent you from knowing the location of the princess in advance, the Prime Minister of Tubo thought that the positions of the ladies should be mixed up. No, the positions of the ladies will be arranged by the Prime Minister of Tubo. I also ask the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty for permission.
I’m sorry.”
Lu Dongzan looked respectful and saluted Li Shimin.
"Okay."
Li Shimin nodded.
Lu Dongzan couldn't find Princess Xinxing. This was just as he expected. Even the child prodigy Di Renjie definitely couldn't find Princess Xinxing.
Soon, under Lu Dongzan's arrangement, the positions of the three hundred palace ladies were disrupted.
Moreover, he asked the eight-year-old Di Renjie to turn around.
At this time, Lu Dongzan was also guessing in his heart.
Is it possible that there is no princess among these three hundred maids?
Yes, that must be the case.
He was tricked by the Emperor of Tang Dynasty.
Lu Dongzan clenched his fists, and there were faint veins popping out on his old arms.
"Okay, little baby, you can turn around now."
Lu Dongzan said to Di Renjie.
After Di Renjie turned around, his eyes fell on the three hundred palace ladies in front of him with red cloths covering their heads.
"Everyone who is called upon by me will stand up."
Although he is young, he has a loud voice.
"You! And you, and you!"
Di Renjie actually named eight palace ladies in succession.
He is still calling names.
Finally.
Among the three hundred maids, he selected ten maids.
"What is this Di Renjie doing?"
Investors are very confused, what on earth is this brat Di Renjie planning to do?
Is there any purpose in selecting the ten palace ladies?
Not only could they not understand, Lu Dongzan and the officials at the scene, including Li Shimin, could not figure out Di Renjie's thoughts.
"Stretch out the palm of your left hand!"
Di Renjie continued.
The ten maids were very cooperative, and they all stretched out their tender white palms.
Di Renjie glanced at it and nodded.
"Seventh palace maid, take off the red cloth on your head, you will be the emerging princess."
His tone was decisive and certain.
When he said this, the seventh maid among the ten maids also trembled slightly.
"This..."
Everyone present was confused. How can we find the emerging princess?
Is this possible?
This...
While they were wondering, the seventh palace maid had already taken off the red cloth on her head.
Sure enough, the seventh palace maid showed her beautiful and delicate face.
She is really an emerging princess.
"What?!"
The courtiers present, Lu Dongzan, and Li Shimin all widened their eyes, showing surprise.
What method is used to find the emerging princess?
If it had been before, Lu Dongzan would have definitely thought that the eight-year-old Di Renjie must have known the location of the emerging princess in advance.
But, just now he disrupted the order of three hundred palace maids.
How could Di Renjie know in advance?
Why is this?
He really can't understand.
"Little baby, how did you find out the emerging princess?"
Even if he loses, Lu Dongzan will lose clearly.
Otherwise, he would be completely confused now, which would be too uncomfortable.
The others also pricked up their ears, wanting to hear what Di Renjie would say.
What is all this about?
They still feel like they are being kept in the dark.
"Because it's too easy to find someone. Not to mention three hundred people, even a thousand people, I can easily find the emerging princess."
Di Renjie blinked his eyes.
This...
Is it true or are you just bragging?
Even Li Shimin looked very interested.
"The emerging princess is four feet five inches tall. It doesn't matter whether she increases or decreases by one point."
He said, "So, the ten maids I just named are all exactly four feet five inches tall."
Everyone showed thoughtful expressions.
Di Renjie continued, "I asked them to stretch out their hands just to see the palm prints on their palms. Because everyone's palm prints are different. I recognized Princess Xinxing's palm prints and matched them with Xinxing's palm prints.
The height of the princess will help you find the person."
"It's so simple?"
Everyone looked surprised and uncertain.
This seems very simple, but when you think about it carefully, it is difficult.
"If I remember correctly, this is your first time meeting Princess Xinxing, right? How did you know Princess Xingxing is four feet five inches tall? How did you know Princess Xingxing's palm print?"
Li Shimin was very confused.
"Because ordinary people have a photographic memory. The first time they saw Princess Xinxing, they knew how tall Princess Xingxing was, and they also accidentally saw Princess Xingxing's palm prints just now."
"Even the common people have seen His Majesty's height and palm prints. They say that His Majesty is really like a dragon and a phoenix, like the sun in the sky, mighty and extraordinary, and is eight feet tall."
Di Renjie said loudly, and also flattered Li Shimin.
Although he likes reading, he is definitely not a bookworm, and his mind is very bright.
"Okay! I am indeed the prodigy of the Tang Dynasty! It's really amazing! I am eight feet tall!"
Li Shimin's face was full of praise. It is rare for Di Renjie to perform like this at only eight years old.
At this time, Lu Dongzan also chose to shut up obediently.
Di Renjie’s performance is amazing!
"This is awesome! Invest, absolutely invest. The future of this eight-year-old prodigy Di Renjie is limitless!"
Investors watching the video were also completely shocked by Di Renjie's performance.
Photographic memory is amazing!
"Whatever reward you want, just ask!"
At this time, Li Shimin was in a good mood and seemed to be preparing to get Di Renjie an official position.
"The grassroots people don't need any rewards. The grassroots people are already living a pretty good life now."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Di Renjie shook his head.
"You should be rewarded. Tell me what kind of reward you want, even some official positions. I can arrange it for you."
The more Li Shimin looked at Di Renjie, the more satisfied he became. He always felt that Di Renjie could become a powerful minister of the Tang Dynasty in the future.
The surrounding officials had no intention of stopping it.
Di Renjie's performance also shocked them.
Such a power of observation is truly astonishing.
"The ordinary people are not willing to become officials now. The ordinary people must rely on their own ability to master economics and pass the exam!"
Di Renjie replied.
"Good ambition! But I still want to reward you, tell me! Don't hide it in front of me."
Li Shimin's face sank slightly.
"Your Majesty, ordinary people want to go to the Hongwen Hall to read books. It is said that the Hongwen Hall has more than 200,000 volumes of books."
Di Renjie looked expectantly.
He wanted to take a look at the many books in the Hongwen Library.
But he couldn't even step through the door of Hongwen Hall.
Because those who can study in this Hongwen Hall are all the children of the royal family and the powerful children of Chang'an City.
Although his father was a sixth-rank official, he was at the feet of an emperor like Chang'an.
These sixth-grade officials are nothing more than petty officials at best.
"Okay! From now on, you will go to Hongwen Hall to study!"
Li Shimin made a decision with a wave of his hand.
"Caomin read books, not study."
Di Renjie's face turned red.
"I have made up my mind to study hard. If I have time, I will randomly check your homework."
Di Renjie, a little kid, can't change what Li Shimin decided.
"This... the common people would like to thank Your Majesty."
Di Renjie could only bite the bullet and say.
"Lu Dongzan, although you only answered the first of the three test questions, I will still marry Tubo. But this princess will have to be changed."
Li Shimin said calmly.
It turned out that Lu Dongzan seemed to have lost his soul and looked completely listless.
He simply didn't want to believe it.
He will lose to an eight-year-old child.
But when Li Shimin suddenly said this, Lu Dongzan's eyes lit up.
Lu Dongzan doesn't care who the princess is, as long as she is the princess of the Tang Dynasty.
"The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was really kind and kind."
He quickly saluted and expressed his gratitude.
Li Shimin nodded and issued an order.
"Xuan, Princess Zhucheng has an audience!"
But the words he said made the officials present a little confused.
Your Majesty, it seems that there is no princess named Princess Zhucheng, right?
Even Lu Dongzan’s face is full of doubts.
Which princess is this Princess Zhucheng of the Tang Dynasty? Why is he not impressed?
