Chapter 32: What color is the bear?
In the Tai Chi Hall, Li Shimin sat high on the dragon throne and looked at Lin Xiu with a smile and mocked Ashina's big wave. At the same time, he also added fuel to the fire, making the show even more exciting.
Ashina Dabo couldn't stand Lin Xiu's arrogance and shouted: "Tell me your question, I want to see what level of difficult questions can the young talents of the Tang Dynasty tell, and even threatened that no one from the Turks answered it!"
Lin Xiu shrugged and said, "Envoy Popo, right? Don't be excited. It doesn't matter if you can't guess it. Knowing it is not embarrassing to admit it actively."
"Speak less nonsense and tell your problem!" Ashina Dabo shouted.
Lin Xiu snorted: "Please listen to the question. It is said that there is a bear that fell from a cave that was 1,6 feet, three inches, eight minutes, six cents, six millimeters, and six wires high. It took a second to land. You may not have any idea about a second. Let's say so, one second is to divide an hour into 7,200 portions. This second is one of them, which is the moment we often say. May I ask, what color is this bear?"
Upon hearing this question, Asuna was stunned.
Not only was Ashina Dabo, but also everyone in the Tai Chi Hall.
At this moment, everyone was thinking:
Where am I?
What did I hear?
Is the content of this question related to the problem?
After a while, Asuna yelled: "Boy, you actually dare to play with me! It's outrageous!"
After saying that, Ashin, who was angry and embarrassed, he punched Lin Xiu with one punch.
What a great hatred this is for the host to be dispatched.
Lin Xiu did not dodge and directly sent a punch to meet him. The two fists collided with each other and made a low sound.
Then the two of them took two steps back.
Rush...
At the same time, the imperial guard rushed over and surrounded Asina. With just one order, he would be dismantled.
Ashina Dabo was not panicked, but stared at Lin Xiu and shouted: "What a powerful punch!"
At this moment, his fists were trembling, and he was very shocked.
Lin Xiu smiled and said, "Your martial arts is not bad either! But your character is not good! If you can't answer the question, you will admit defeat. Why are you still angry and embarrassed? This is your Turkic habit?"
"Who can tolerate you deliberately teasing me?" Ashina Dabo shouted.
Lin Xiu retorted: "Who is playing tricks on you? My question is very serious. You don't know, which does not mean that this question is fake. There are so many things you don't know. If you don't understand, doesn't it exist?"
"Why can't people live in the water, but fish can?"
"Why is the sun rising in the east and setting in the west?"
"Why did you see the sails first when you stand by the sea and look at the ship in the distance?"
"There is too much knowledge in the world. You cannot deny their existence just because of your ignorance!"
Asina Dabo's face turned pale for a while, and said, "But the question you asked has nothing to do with the color of the bear!"
"That's because you are stupid! You can't figure out the mystery. You can bring this question back to the Turks, but no one knows it. If you want to know the answer, you can wait until you ask the Turks all over and no one can answer it, and I will tell you the answer. If I am playing tricks on you at that time, then I will let you deal with it, what?" Lin Xiu said.
Asina Dabo took the bet and shouted: "Okay! If there is really an answer, then I can handle it too! If you want to kill or cut, you will be able to listen to the emperor."
Lin Xiu immediately smiled, Xiaoya, you must lose.
In the hall, other officials were still looking at each other, their heads full of bears.
After coughing, Li Shimin took charge of the overall situation and said, "Since the two sides have reached a bet, what will happen in the future? Let's wait and see. I am very looking forward to it. Minister of the Honglu Temple?"
Tang Qian came out of the line and said respectfully: "I am here!"
"Enjoy the Turkic envoys well and negotiate this meeting." Li Shimin ordered.
Tang Qian hurriedly received the order.
Then Li Shimin stood up and said, "I'll be here today, and leave the court!"
As the internal officials sang loudly and retired from the court, Li Shimin left with joy.
Lin Xiu left the Tai Chi Hall with the officials. As soon as he walked out, he was stopped by the inner officials.
"Lin County Male, the saint is invited!" said the inner official respectfully.
Lin Xiu glanced at Fang Xuanling, Fang Xuanling nodded to him, and Lin Xiu went to meet the saint with the inner official.
When Lin Xiu came to Zichen Hall, he was about to salute when he saw Li Shimin wavering and said, "No need to be restrained, come on, come on and play chess with me."
Lin Xiu had no choice but to step forward and kneel across from Li Shimin.
At this moment, Lin Xiu was a little surprised. He had such a relationship with the famous Tang Emperor Li Shimin?
Didn’t it mean that being with the king is like being with a tiger?
If you give him a brain breakdown, will he kill him?
Lin Xiu really wants to commit suicide once.
"By the way, is your question playing with Ashi's big wave?" Li Shimin asked hurriedly after making a move.
It seems that even the emperor can't help but feel curious.
Lin Xiu shook his head and confessed: "Of course it is a real question. If there is an answer, Ashina Dabo cannot answer it, it only means that he is stupid."
Li Shimin's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but mutter, "It seems that all the civil and military officials in the court are fools. So am I... Then what color is this bear? Black? Gray? Brown?"
"Forget it, you'd better not tell the answer. I need to think about it carefully when I find time."
Judging from his serious appearance, Lin Xiu thought about it and would not hurt his eagerness to study.
Li Shimin took the problem in his heart and said, "This time you have maintained the face of the Tang Dynasty and made great contributions. What reward do you want? Just forget about calligraphy such as 'maintaining the face of the Tang Dynasty', I can't write it."
Lin Xiu curled his lips and said, "Can you accumulate them together and make a big contribution in the future?"
"You kid, okay, remember the credit first." Li Shimin agreed.
Then, Lin Xiu accompanied him and with Lin Xiu's chess skills, he naturally easily beat Li Shimin, and he won three times in a row.
This caused Li Shimin a lot of blow and sighed repeatedly: "I always thought that my chess skills were superb and invincible. Now it seems that the opponent deliberately let the water go."
"The saint thought it was just that he thought that the sea of knowledge was endless, so he had to keep learning." Lin Xiu won the chess and spoke without any restraint.
The eunuch Wang De, who was serving the side, was frightened and always looked at Lin Xiu secretly.
Li Shimin was not angry and smiled and said, "What you said makes sense. I just thought that I thought that too many people feared my identity, so I hid it from me and deceived me. Just like the actual situation of the Tang Dynasty, how many people hid it from me? Is the Tang Dynasty really prosperous?"
Lin Xiu nodded.
Think about the past life, transportation and information are so developed, and national leaders still have to inspect various places. Only by going out can they see it with their own eyes.
"Sage, Chang'an City is very prosperous, but some places are still very barren. It is normal for officials to report good news but not bad news. Not everyone is as frank as villains. So if you want to know the truth, you have to go out and understand the people's sentiments." Lin Xiu replied.
Li Shimin agreed: "I am just thinking this..."
