Chapter 302 Chapter 312: Wisdom Overwhelms Lu Dongzan
If you use one sentence to describe Li Tai's current situation, it would be "heart-wrenching". It's really heart-wrenching. When you find that you are working so hard, but you are easily compared by another person, how do you feel? If that person is still someone you hate very much, let alone.

The competition was still going on, and it was the turn of Hall's messenger to come up with a question. The question given by Hall's messenger was: A slave made a mistake, and the master wanted to execute him.The slave begged for mercy, and the master gave him a chance to ask someone to bring ten pieces of paper, and said to the slave: "Here are ten pieces of paper, nine of which say 'death', and one of which says 'life'. Touch one, if it is 'live', I will let you go back immediately, if it is 'dead', I will blame you for your bad life, and I can't blame others." In fact, all ten pieces of paper said "death", no matter which one you catch Zhang is the same.Ask, is there any way to help this slave escape from death.

After hearing this question, Li Hao secretly sighed: "It turns out that the brain-burning questions in the future world existed in ancient times. This question is not new in the future world. Most people have heard of this question and know the answer. , but when this question appeared for the first time, it caused quite a stir and stumped many people, and I don’t know how many people can stump it in this era.”

If you want to know whether this question is difficult or not, you can tell by looking at the reactions of the officials. At this moment, the officials are whispering to each other, discussing a lot, and some people are frowning and pondering, looking for the answer.And Li Tai frowned and thought for a moment, then smiled, he had already thought of the answer.

After a long time, when the time for answering questions was over, Xu Lian collected the answer sheets of the six people and announced their answers one by one. The Tianzhu envoy's answer was: "Kill the slave master."

Everyone looked at the Tianzhu envoy with strange eyes, they were very suspicious, how did this person become an envoy, his mind was full of muddleheadedness?Or are all Indians as stupid as he is?

The Gesa envoy's answer was: "Open all the notes on the spot and expose the tricks of the slave owners."

The officials shook their heads again. Although some of the officials had already guessed the answer, no one wanted to make a sound. They were only looking forward to the answers from Lu Dongzan and Li Hao. Or answer questions, they are all perfect.

The answer of the envoy of the Chenla Kingdom was: "It cannot be saved."

Li Hao's answer is: "Take a piece of paper at random, without opening it, and swallow it in your stomach. The remaining nine will be 'dead', and the remaining ones will be 'living'."

Seeing the answer, all the ministers clapped their hands in amazement: "That's right, such a simple solution, why didn't I think of it!"

"A clever plan! It really is a clever plan!"

……

Lu Dongzan's answer is: "Destroy one and leave nine, and the nine are 'death', and the destroyed ones are 'life'." It is exactly the same as Li Hao's answer.

As for the answer sheet of the Great Food Messenger, it was blank, because he couldn't think of any answers.

In this round, Li Hao and Lu Dongzan won again.

It was the last envoy’s turn to come up with a question. The envoy wrote the question on a piece of paper in regular script and handed it to Xu Lian. Xu Lian took it and recited aloud: “10 boxes of gold, each box is 100 yuan, each piece is one tael There is a corrupt official who grinds away a piece of gold from a certain box of gold, please find the box of gold that has been tampered with once.”

I have to say that the regular script of this Dashi envoy is good, more beautiful than other envoys. As for Li Hao, his handwriting is not as good as these foreigners. Li Hao couldn't help but feel ashamed when he saw this beautiful regular script. I secretly decided that I would practice calligraphy more when I have time in the future.

Li Hao had never seen this question before. For the first time since the start of the competition, he frowned and thought carefully about how to solve this question. After thinking for a while, he got the answer. This question is very simple.

At this time, the Tianzhu envoy suddenly yelled: "The gold has been polished, can't it be seen? Can it still be called?"

Li Hao was sweating when he heard the words, Brother San, you should go home, wash up and sleep, this kind of occasion to test your IQ is really not suitable for you.

All the ministers sneered when they heard the words, and no one answered him at all.

Soon, 5 minutes passed, and the sand in the hourglass was exhausted. Xu Lian asked everyone to stop writing and began to collect the answer sheets. This time, there were three people who answered correctly, one was Li Hao, one was Lu Dongzan, and the other was Chen La. The envoy of the country also answered correctly.

The correct answer is: Arrange the boxes in sequence, take one piece of gold from the first box, two pieces from the second box, three pieces from the third box, and so on, until the tenth box, take ten pieces of gold , and then weigh the gold taken out together to see how much less it should be than the original weight. If it is two coins less, it is the second box, and if it is five coins less, it is the fifth box.

At the end of the competition, Li Hao answered all the questions, and Lu Dongzan also answered all the questions. As for the envoys from the other five countries, they were directly eliminated.

Since Li Hao and Lu Dongzan had the same grades, the following was a one-on-one duel between the two, asking each other questions, and then deciding the final winner.

Since there were only the two of them left, these screens were no longer needed, so Li Shimin sent someone to remove the screens, and then let them sit opposite each other in the center of the hall, and the competition began.

Li Hao spread his hands and said, "The elders come first, Prime Minister Lu, you should ask questions first."

"Being respectful is worse than obedience." Lu Dongzan smiled slightly and began to write a question, "In ancient times, an old man was dying. Before he died, he called his two sons to his bed and said: 'You ride to the west mountain and come back, Whoever's horse runs slowly, the family property will belong to him.' The two sons rode out and walked slowly. The passers-by saw this strange, asked the reason, and said a word to the two, and the two hurried on their horses, lest they fall behind. Excuse me, what did this passer-by say?"

After Lu Dongzan finished speaking, he looked at Li Hao confidently. This problem was not something he imagined out of thin air, but something he experienced in his own life, because he was that passerby, and that sentence came from him, and he was the only one in this world. People know the answer, but he doesn't believe that Li Hao can guess it.

Li Hao closed his eyes and thought for a long time, then slowly opened his eyes and said: "If I were that passerby, I would tell them: 'You two change horses'."

Lu Dongzan was shocked when he heard the words, and then chuckled lightly and sighed: "The wisdom of the Marquis of Li County is indeed admired by Ge Erdong, and it is the turn of the Marquis of Li County to come up with the question."

Li Hao is also not modest, and directly asked the question: "Just now the envoy of the Gesa Kingdom asked a slave survival question, and now I am also asking a slave survival question, Minister Lu, listen carefully, a slave will be executed by his master because he made a mistake. , the master said to the slave: "Do you know how I will kill you? If you guess correctly, I can make your death easier and cut off your head with a knife. If you guess wrong, I will hang you." ’ May I ask how this slave can answer in order to save himself?”

As soon as Li Hao said the question, the officials exclaimed, what the hell is this question, if you guess right, you will die, if you guess wrong, you will die, why don't you guess?That's impossible.

Even Lu Dongzan, who had been answering the questions smoothly, couldn't help but his eyes lit up when he heard this question, and couldn't help nodding his head in praise: "Good question!" After finishing speaking, he closed his eyes and meditated.

Seeing that Lu Dongzan closed his eyes, Li Shimin turned over the hourglass on his desk and timed it for Lu Dongzan. He thought Li Hao's question was very difficult. Anyway, he had given up thinking about the answer, so he obediently timed for Lu Dongzan. As long as Lu Dongzan can't answer, everything will be fine.

All the ministers are whispering to each other at this moment, discussing how to solve this problem. No matter how you look at it, it is an unsolvable situation. Li Tai frowned and thought for a long time, then slowly shook his head and looked at Li Hao, thinking silently: "Impossible!" Yes, that slave is mortal, how can he save himself, I don't believe, I don't believe there is an answer to this question..."

However, he also knew that he was lying to himself. Since Li Hao dared to ask this question, it means that there is an answer to this question, because if there is no answer to the question, it will be considered a failure.

After a long time, there was only a little sand left in the hourglass. Lu Dongzan suddenly opened his eyes, smiled slowly, and said, "I know the answer."

"Oh?" Li Hao raised his eyebrows and spread his hands, "Master Lu, please tell me the answer."

When everyone heard the words, they stared at the two of them with wide eyes, wanting to know what the answer was.

Lu Dongzan smiled lightly and said, "The Marquis of County Li is really extraordinary. This question seems to be unsolvable, but there is a hidden mystery. It is really a good question. Lu Dongzan admires it."

The ministers are in a hurry, you are the answer, aren't you tired of talking so much nonsense, Li Tai couldn't bear it long ago, and shouted anxiously: "What is the answer?"

Lu Dong praised: "The slave only needs to say 'I will be hanged.' That's it."

Everyone was at a loss when they heard the words, and they still didn't understand the mystery of this sentence. It was helpless, the IQ gap was a bit big, everyone gave the answer, but they couldn't even understand the answer.

Lu Dongzan looked at Li Hao with a smile, and said, "Li County Marquis, you wrote the question, please explain it to everyone present."

"Okay." Li Hao nodded, and explained in a loud voice, "The sentence 'I will be hanged' is not right. The slave is mainly wrong. The slave will be hanged. The slave will be hanged. The slave is right, the slave is mainly right, the slave will have his head cut off, and the slave is wrong."

The ministers' heads swelled for a while, Li Hao's words were too convoluted, they didn't understand at all, but Li Tai's eyes lit up, and he shouted excitedly: "Yes, yes, that's it, that's it , it really works!"

Everyone saw that Li Tai agreed with Li Hao's words, which meant that Lu Dongzan's answer was indeed correct, and it didn't matter whether he understood or not, they all applauded, lest others think that his brain is not good enough, so embarrassing.

This time the competition in front of the palace has entered a fierce stage. All kinds of strange problems have opened the eyes of the officials of the Tang Dynasty. They have finally seen the extraordinary wisdom of Tubo Prime Minister and Li Hao, which has to be amazed.

Now, it was Lu Dongzan's turn to pose a question again. Lu Dongzan thought about it, and came up with a question: "There is a well, seven feet deep, and there is a caterpillar that crawls from the bottom of the well to the mouth of the well. It can climb three feet during the day, but when it reaches At night, it has to slide down two feet, may I ask, how many days and nights will it take for this caterpillar to climb to the mouth of the well?"

As soon as this question came out, all the ministers were stunned again, what is going on, how come such a simple question suddenly, as long as anyone who can calculate accounts can figure it out.

Li Hao squinted his eyes and looked at Lu Dongzan. Although he had never heard of this question, he knew that this question was definitely not as simple as it seemed on the surface, and there must be a hidden mystery behind it.
