Datang: I show my cards, I am the emperor

After completing the complete set of processes, the time was almost noon, and under the loud announcement of the eunuch, the court meeting dispersed.

However, only most of the officials below the fourth rank left the palace, and the others went to the side hall with Li Shimin, and the three Tibetan envoys were no exception.

Because Li Shimin wanted to set up a banquet in the side hall to entertain Puye and others, this was the practice of receiving foreign envoys in the Tang Dynasty.

After everyone took their seats in the side hall, the sound of singing and dancing suddenly began, and the wine and food were served in the same way.

After three rounds of drinking, everyone was a little more relaxed, and the atmosphere on the scene was also a lot more relaxed.

Puye's face was flushed, apparently from a lot of alcohol.

He arched his hand to Li Shimin and said: "Your Majesty, the singing and dancing of the Tang Dynasty, the wine and food of the Tang Dynasty, are simply wonderful, after the ministers go back, they must suggest that Zampu follow the example of the Tang Dynasty and learn these things." "

A flash of light suddenly flashed in Li Shimin's eyes.

Then he said with a smile: "In this way, your country Zampu is still a person who likes to learn the culture of the Central Plains. "

Puye immediately nodded.

His Majesty even said that Zampu was keen on the Han culture of the Central Plains, and the young Zampu thought that the Central Plains culture was very noble. "

"Although it has only been a few months since he ascended the throne, as long as he has time, he must hold a book and study it. "

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and then said with approval in his tone: "The Central Plains culture is broad and profound, and it is naturally no harm to study and study from time to time. "

At this time, Puye stepped out of his seat and came to the middle of the side hall.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, in fact, Zampu ordered me to come as an envoy this time, and he also gave his subordinates a task. "

In an instant, the entire side hall was silent, and the needles could be heard, and even the original song and dance stopped unconsciously.

Li Shimin vaguely made eye contact with the eldest grandson Wuji and other ministers.

Sure enough, the main topic is here, and the Tubo people are really hiding a mystery.

As expected, this so-called mission is one of the hidden purposes of Tibet.

Li Shimin immediately waved his hand and let the song and dance all retreat.

Then he smiled and said, "I don't know what kind of task it is, what can I help you solve?"

Puye immediately bowed to everyone.

"This time, the minister sent an envoy to the Tang Dynasty, and Zampu gave the minister three questions. "

These are all problems he encountered when he was studying cultural classics in the past, but unfortunately no one in Tubo can share the worries of Zampu. "

Therefore, he ordered me to come to Datang and ask the young talents of Datang to answer one or two questions for him, after all, Datang is a vast land, with a large population and many talents. "

"The minister thought that the smartest and wisest person in the Tang Dynasty must be the one who can govern the country well, so the minister dared to mention it here, and implored His Majesty and the ministers of the Tang Dynasty to help me with this. "

The eyes of the ministers present flickered.

They don't believe this excuse, it's all nonsense.

If you really want to find someone to ask questions, you won't choose this kind of banquet, so it's clear that you are testing Datang's strength.

It's just that in this kind of obscure confrontation on the table, Datang must accept it, and Puye said that Datang has many talents, so ask for help.

If you don't accept the recruitment, will you coax it or admit that Datang has no talent?

Not only to answer, but also to answer beautifully, easily, once the Tang Dynasty monarchs and ministers can't answer, it will be a loss of face and damage to the national body.

Li Shimin's eyes flickered, and then he spoke: "Envoy Puye, submit the first question, and let me and this group of ministers answer your questions." "

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your generosity. Puye immediately expressed his gratitude.

Immediately after slapping his face, several accompanying Tibetans walked up with a round ball about one foot in diameter.

As His Majesty could see, Zampu called this ball the Nine Tricks Exquisite Pearl, which he had restructured and ordered to be made according to what he had learned in the book. "

"There is a hole on each side of the surface, and the interior winds and turns, subdividing countless roads. "

"But there is only one way to connect the two holes in the surface of the sphere. "

"The question is how to use a thin wire to pass directly through the holes on both sides without destroying the Nine Exquisite Beads. "

"No one in my Tubo country can solve this problem, even if he is as smart and intelligent as Zampu, he is also helpless about it. "

"So as a last resort, Zampu can only ask me to bring the Nine Exquisite Beads, which is the minister's first question. "

After Puye finished speaking, the eldest grandson Wuji stood up and took over the conversation.

"In a few words, it has been proved that this problem is not simple, and it seems that your country Zampu is indeed a person who loves to study. "

Puye immediately bowed to the eldest grandson Wuji and Li Shimin.

"Indeed, as you said, Zamp loves to delve into difficult problems to the point where outsiders can hardly imagine. "

"Even before I left, Zampu handed me a ciphertext, indicating that as long as there was Da Tang Jun, he would be able to answer his questions. "

"I, Tibet, am willing to take the whole country to the Tang Dynasty as the suzerain, and pay tribute every year, and never regret it!".
