Playing games is definitely not a matter of one person. At least two or more people participate. With more people, disputes will inevitably arise, so there are "rules of the game" in the world.

Any game must have rules, from thrilling games between countries, from small to children who urinate farther than who urinate, the winner is determined by the rules. Violation of the rules means being eliminated, and those with strong strength have the power to make rules.

The history of mankind for thousands of years has gone from the decisions of tribal leaders in ancient sages to the formulation of national constitutions, and the four words "rules of the game" run through the whole process.

Of course, there are also people who are unwilling to obey the rules. The ending of this type of person is very extreme. He either is destroyed by the rulemaker or beaten up the makers and re-form the rules by themselves. This is true for the country, family, and individuals. Until later, the "morality" appeared. From then on, the rules of the game became more complicated, and more and more laws were restricted. There were countless changes in dynasties for thousands of years, and the rules of the game also changed countless times during this period, but the "morality" has never changed. No matter what game, "morality" is always a benchmark that cannot be changed. All changes and changes, "morality" can never be changed.

At this moment, everyone in the Qianqiu Palace of Tai Chi Palace was surprised because the Tubo Grand Priest Lu Dongzan suddenly proposed to change the rules of the game.

After saying a word came out, everyone in the palace was shocked.

The worst of the mood is Li Shimin and Li Su. In today's competition, the monarch and minister knew what was going on. The so-called "competition" was actually just a formality. Everyone decided the winner and the loss, and they could step down on the scene. I thought that since Lu Dongzan was convinced, he would naturally cooperate tacitly in the hall today. After everyone performed this drama, the Tang Dynasty and Tubo continued to be peaceful and friendly. Li Shimin even felt that it was not bad to give another princess to Tubo.

Unexpectedly, Lu Dongzan's brain circuit is different from that of ordinary people. If you give in, you must also compete for the face you should fight for.

Li Shimin's face had become gloomy and he looked at Li Su with an expressionless face. This glance was probably equivalent to ten thousand flying knives. Li Su's face turned pale and cold sweat fell down her cheeks.

He knew that if he didn't quickly solve the tricks that Lu Dongzan had made in the shortest time, Li Shimin would grit his teeth and cut him into pieces afterwards, half steaming, and half barbecue...

Obviously, Lu Dongzan is a person who knows how to play games. The most important thing about the game is fairness. The rules and gameplay cannot be decided by one party. Let’s set the rules together to make the ending suspense, and the game will be interesting.

Li Su proposed the competition to recruit brides. As the home court, it seems reasonable to give the question to the Tang Dynasty, but Lu Dongzan's logic is different. Even if it is a formality, the case must be more exciting, so the question cannot be given by the Tang Dynasty.

After Li Shimin cut over Li Su hard, he forced himself to smile and said, "I'm afraid this is inappropriate? This is the Tang Dynasty, but I should fulfill my master's friendship. How can I work for the guests to ask questions?"

Lu Dongzan stroked his chest with one hand and bowed respectfully, "Your Majesty forgives the crime. Although this is the Tang Dynasty, this matter has already involved the prestige of our country. Foreign ministers can ignore personal honor and disgrace. However, the prestige of the country cannot be humiliated. The six countries will set their own questions. The competition is fair. Even if Tubo loses, he will be convinced. From then on, he completely forgot about Princess Wencheng's marriage and begs His Majesty to allow him to agree."

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows, turned his head to look at Li Su, then closed his eyes and said lightly: "Li Su, you have always been in charge of this matter. Let me leave the competition to you. I won't say much."

Li Su agreed with a bitter smile.

Very good, the pre-desired plan was completely disrupted by Lu Dongzan's words. Li Su carefully prepared the answer to Prince Zhenla in advance. As Lu Dongzan forcibly changed the rules, all preparations were useless. At this time, the outcome of the victory and defeat of the main hall competition suddenly became full of suspense, and... dangerous. Li Su did not forget that Li Shimin had said something. If this matter was ruined today, the prince of Zhenla failed to marry Princess Wencheng as he wished, and his head would be in danger.

Lu Dongzan is less than forty years old this year. He has enjoyed everything he should enjoy in his life. Whether it is food, clothing, beauty, or power, he has lived so much. Why hasn't this guy been reborn in the Pure Land?

Turning his head to look at Lu Dongzan, Li Su's eyes flashed with coldness, but a smile appeared on his face, and he bowed to Lu Dongzan.

"The truth that my Central Plains sages passed on for thousands of years was called a "gentleman" who serves his parents with filial piety, serves the king with 'loyalty', and treats people with 'benevolence and forgiveness'. He heard that everyone was familiar with the books of the Hundred Schools of the Central Plains, and knew the culture of the Middle Earth. It seemed that he had just read the appearance..."

He was talking about the gentleman's way, but in fact he accused Lu Dongzan of being ungrateful. The emperor apologized to you in person, but he still held an unchangeable fact. Li Su said impolitely, making Lu Dongzan's eyebrows stand up. However, when he saw the Tang monarchs and ministers and envoys of the five countries around him were looking at him with a cold face, Lu Dongzan took a deep breath, held back his anger, and sneered at Li Su.

Li Suhun felt unconscious and smiled and said, "Since the Prime Minister insisted that the six countries each set their own questions, I will not talk too much about the Tang Dynasty. It is enough to do an arbitration in the middle. Your Majesty ordered me to preside over this matter, so I will do this arbitration. I don't know what the envoys of various countries want?"

The envoys of the other five countries nodded in agreement. Lu Dongzan hesitated for a moment and nodded.

Li Su smiled and said, "Okay, since you each set the questions, it doesn't matter who comes out first and who comes out later. The judgment of victory or defeat depends on which country's envoy answers the most correct answers, and the most wins. If there are two or three draws, the draw will continue to make another round until the winner is decided. One thing you must remember is that the questions you raise must have correct answers and cannot be fabricated out of thin air. If anyone finds a question that is impossible to answer, I can only judge that he has been eliminated. I wonder if you agree with this arrangement?"

The envoys of the six countries nodded one after another.

Li Su looked at Shi Nayan, the prince of Zhenla in the crowd. Shi Nayan's face was also ugly, his lips were tightly pursed, and his face showed a sense of grayness and indescribable sadness.

A sudden change happened, and the lifelong events between him and his beloved woman were suddenly filled with suspense. Maybe today is the day to part with Princess Wencheng. How can he not be sad?

Li Su looked at him deeply, then smiled and said, "In this way, please ask everyone to give a question. The article and martial arts are also possible. The six countries are competing for beauty, and it is recorded in history. It is also a legend that has been passed down through the ages. Su is very lucky to have personally proved it today."

Lu Dongzan smiled and took a step forward. He was about to speak, but Li Su suddenly said: "It's a guest from afar, but the guests are divided into order, so let's start with the noble envoy of the Tianzhu Kingdom."

Lu Dongzan was stunned. Seeing that Li Su was not looking at him, he knew that Li Su really hated him today, so Lu Dongzan didn't care. He smiled and retreated, nodding to the envoy of the Indian Kingdom with a very graceful look.

In addition to Tubo and Zhenla, the six countries that compete today also included Tianzhu, Dashi, Zhonggesar and King Hall. The envoys of the six countries stood side by side in the hall. The envoys of the Tubo and Zhenla countries had different expressions, but the remaining envoys of the four countries, including Tianzhu, looked at each other and hesitated.

As things have developed to this day, the envoys of the Four Kingdoms probably know what they think. The so-called "marriage marriage" and "proposal", the real protagonists are actually Tubo and Zhenla. To put it bluntly, the other four countries are supporting roles. Maybe they are not even supporting roles, they are just a dead supporting role. When they were encouraged by Li Daozong, the envoys of the Four Kingdoms proposed to propose when they were in a hot mind. When they found out that Tubo and Zhenla were confronting each other and Chang'an City caused a lot of controversy over the marriage, the envoys of the Four Kingdoms finally realized that they had been used as gun envoys.

The marriage partner that His Majesty Tian Khan likes may be Tubo or Zhenla. In short, it cannot be any of them among the four countries. The role of the envoys of the four countries in this matter is roughly equivalent to carrying a soy sauce bottle, passing by with a smile, and showing their faces...

Now that things have come, the Four Kingdoms have already faded their intention to propose marriage. At this moment, they just want to end this farce quickly, miss home, miss their mothers...

However, the four countries had officially submitted their proposals for marriage. Since they were written in the letter of the country, they must be treated as a solemn state matter. If you want to withdraw, you should at least have a bit of professional ethics and cooperate with the whole show to finish the work. This is also the reason why the envoys of the four countries knew that they were actually just a foil and insisted on standing in Qianqiu Palace.

Originally, Green Leaf, who thought it was just a foil, was caught off guard, and Li Su was the first to call the envoy of the Indian Empire to make a question. The envoy of the Indian Empire was stunned, and then he felt a little sad and angry.

I agreed that I would only play supporting roles, why did I arrange lines for me? I would be too disrespectful to us! Can't we finish the lunch box quietly?

The biggest problem is... The envoy of the Indians was not prepared at all. He asked questions? What questions? No one was greeting him in advance and he was insane. How could I ask questions?

Everyone in the hall stared at the envoy of the Indians. The envoy of the Indians was stunned for a long time, but could not say a word.

Li Su blinked and kindly reminded: "Your instructor can ask any questions, such as astronomy, geography, mountains, rivers, yin and yang, five elements, stealing and dogs, etc."

The envoy of the Indians blinked, blinking very quickly. The seven-foot-thick dark man actually showed a cute look, which made Li Suqing feel full of affection for this Indian monkey...

After a long time, the envoy of the Indians suddenly became happy and said decisively: "The foreign minister is talented and knowledgeable, but he has no hope. I hope to withdraw from this competition on behalf of His Majesty the King of the country."

This choice was very decisive and timely. When the envoys of the Three Kingdoms suddenly became clear when they heard this, they all came forward to speak, expressing the same meaning as those of the envoys of the Indians, and they all withdrew from the competition on behalf of the kings of their own country.

Since you know that you have become a role of soy sauce, you will not cause trouble for the Tang Dynasty. The wisest way to get a lunch box in advance is to leave the venue.

This small change made the monarchs and ministers in the hall stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared in Li Su's eyes.

Very good. Before they started, they voluntarily withdrew. The four monkeys were competing now. The only two countries in Tubo and Zhenla were competing. The situation was finally not that complicated, which is good news.

Li Su smacked her lips, turned her head and looked at Lu Dongzan, her eyes full of expectations: "Tubo is also withdrawing? How good is everyone's harmony..."

Lu Dongzan snorted and said heavily: "No, Tubo will not withdraw!"

Li Su felt disappointed and was silent for a moment, and suddenly laughed: "Don't make a fuss. Actually, you wanted to quit a long time ago, right? Right? You just feel embarrassed to speak, right? Right? "

"No, Tubo is still participating in today's competition, comparing with the envoys of Zhenla Kingdom!"

Li Su was extremely disappointed and sighed heavily. Once again, he felt deeply that Lu Dongzan should really imitate the flying pictures in the Dunhuang murals and use an extremely graceful posture to relieve his hatred...

After disappointment, Li Su's tone also became cold: "Then, please give me a big question."

Lu Dongzan was obviously prepared. He took a step forward after hearing this, looked at Prince Zhenla Shi Nayan, and said calmly: "In this way, I will do my best. Both I and Your Highness are not from Tang. The words of sages and wise men will not be tested. This question is neither literary nor military. Please listen to it..."

As he said that, Lu Dongzan suddenly reached into his arms and took out a crystal pearl from his arms, saying, "In the past, I, Zanpu, Tubo, gave me a pearl. This pearl was called the 'Nine Curved Bead'. Therefore, the pearl was uneven and had nine small holes connected inside. I once wanted to thread this pearl with a thin thread and hang it on my chest to express my gratitude to Zanpu for his courtesy. However, the pearl was big and the hole was small, and I could not use the thin thread to pass through the hole of this pearl. Later, the light of inspiration flashed, and I gained something. If Your Highness had a way to solve this problem, you would win. How dare Your Highness try it?"

After saying that, Lu Dongzan placed Mingzhu flat on his palm and handed it to Shi Neyan.

Shi Neyan looked nervous. He took the pearl and looked carefully for a while. The more he looked, the more ugly his face became. The other envoys and court officials in the hall were curious, and they surrounded Shi Neyan and looked at the pearl together. However, they saw that the bead was the size of a pigeon egg, with a bit uneven appearance and a rough surface polishing. It was obviously not a precious product. But what is interesting is that there are indeed several small holes on this bead, and the holes are interconnected. It is not difficult to pass a thin thread. There is an idiom called "tearing needles and threads", which is probably the same, but the difficulty lies in that although the holes of this bead are interconnected, it is not a straight line. The inside is actually curved and folded. A thread passes through this end, and it is impossible to lead out of another asymmetric hole. The so-called "nine curves" in the "Nine Curves" are like this.

Shi Neyan only took a look and realized that this was an impossible question. It was too difficult. The holes were winding around, and they could not form a straight line. The heads of the line had no spirituality and did not recognize the way. How could it be possible to penetrate the holes inside the beads like a maze? This is simply an unsolvable question.

After observing for a while, the envoys and court officials around them shook their heads and sighed.

It seems simple, but it is too difficult to do it. This is not something that humans can do. Not to mention Shi Neyan, a young man, even Changsun Wuji, Kong Yingda, an old fox with rich knowledge and experience, can only bow down and admit defeat when encountering such tricky problems.

Seeing that everyone in the hall looked strange, Li Shimin couldn't help it, and ordered the eunuch to present the nine-curved beads in Shi Neyan's hand. The beads came to Li Shimin's hands. After only one glance, Li Shimin's brow frowned, and then glared at Li Su fiercely.

Very good. Such an unsolvable problem has been found. Zhenla Kingdom will definitely lose. If Tubo becomes the winner, what will happen next? Do you have the nerve to betroth Princess Wencheng to Zhenla, the loser? When the news spread, Li Shimin would be embarrassed to be called "Tian Khan" by people?

Li Su felt the coldness in Li Shimin's eyes behind him, and his cheeks twitched a few times, but he didn't dare to look back.

Li Shimin handed the bead to the eunuch next to him and said coldly: "Go and show it to Li Su."

Li Su took the bead and only glanced at it. Then... her cheeks began to twitch again. She was young and felt that she had signs of a stroke...

After forcing a smile, Li Su returned Zhuzi to Shi Neyan, then looked at Lu Dong and said with a smile: "The questions that Da Xiang gave are very difficult. Da Xiang remember the rules that Xia Guan just said? The questions that he asked must be solved by himself, otherwise he will be eliminated..."

Lu Dongzan said coldly: "I can solve this question."

When everyone in the hall heard this, there was another noise.

Lu Dongzan looked at Shi Neyan with a ugly face and said lightly: "Your Highness, don't say that I bully the small by the big one. I thought about this problem for half an hour before I came up with a solution. Today, I will give you an hour. No matter whether you can solve it or not, I will wait for you for an hour. Even if I lose, I will teach you to be convinced." (To be continued.).
