Lu Dongzan and others arrived at the Imperial Garden, but saw a group of foreign missions standing there, and they couldn't help but become secretly alert.

During these days when living in the Honglu Temple guest house, Lu Dongzan knew that some foreign envoys lived in other courtyards.

"What are they here for? Are they here to visit? Could it be that they are here to marry the princess, right?" Lu Dongzan was full of questions.

Big guys are always the last one to be present.

Just as Lu Dongzan was muttering in his heart, Li Shimin brought Empress Changsun and a group of concubines over there.

After Li Shimin sat down, Lu Dongzan and others came to Li Shimin and saluted him. At the same time, the envoys of Tianzhu, Dashi, Zhonggesar and King Hall came to salute Li Shimin at the same time.

Li Shimin said: "Lu Dongzan, I have something to tell you. You originally asked for a marriage for Zampo in your country. I promised that as long as you can pass the test, you will be betrothed my daughter to your Zampo.

After they heard about it, they also wanted to propose marriage to their king. However, I am only one of the same age and have not yet betrothed other people's daughter, which makes me embarrassed.

You countries are very friendly to the Tang Dynasty. I cannot favor one or the other, so I can only let them take the test together.

Compared with other countries, it is normal for you to be able to answer Tubo to be enlightened for a short time, so don’t be nervous. Even if you can’t answer, I won’t blame you for this.”

Li Shimin had a good attitude and could even be said to be very kind, but it was full of irony in the ears of the Tubo people.

This is obviously despising people.

The rest of the Tubo delegation were full of anger, but Lu Dongzan's expression was as normal as he was, and he looked calm.

Because Li Shimin had an agreement with Li You, he deliberately belittled the Tubo people. Seeing Lu Dongzan's appearance, he couldn't help but nod and said, "If you are willing to test, you can start."

Lu Dongzan said, "Your Majesty, we are willing to test it."

People from other countries also said they were willing to take the test.

Li Shimin said: "Okay, then let's start."

Li Tai tried every means to win over Xiao Qian, and he specially asked him to be responsible for the test.

When Xiao Qian saw Li Shimin's speech, he announced: "The test for marriage proposals for envoys from various countries has officially begun."

"Dongdongdongdong", after a drum sound, Xiao Qian said: "This test, there were four questions in total, one of which was personally given by His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Those who answer the most of the first four questions can be qualified to propose marriage to my Princess of the Tang Dynasty.

Those who have obtained the qualification to seek marriage will have two questions tested by His Royal Highness. Do you understand?"

Lu Dongzan and others all expressed their understanding.

Xiao Qian signaled to start.

Several eunuchs brought a table with a plate on it, covered with red brocade and an egg-sized jade bead in the middle.

Xiao Qian announced: "The first question is: silk and satin wear nine-curve pearls."

Then he talked about the test rules:

The silk satin wears the nine-curved pearl, and a soft silk satin is about to pass through the nine-curved holes of the pearl. The tester can take any means.

"This is too difficult, right?" Everyone was talking.

Someone knew it was a question given by Li Tai, so he flattered: "I don't know who gave this question. It's such a wonderful idea, it's amazing."

Li Tai looked proud with a look of pride and looked around with his chest straight, fearing that others would not know that it was his question.

Although Li You mentioned the answer to this question, Li Shimin still doesn't believe that anyone else can answer it.

The test has begun.

The envoys from various countries rushed forward and pondered hard around the Nine-Curve Pearl.

The rest of the Tubo delegation stared at each other, and no one could do anything about it.

Li Shimin paid special attention to Lu Dongzan to see if he could answer this question.

Lu Dongzan stood there in contemplation, shook his head from time to time, and continued to contemplate. He walked under a tree, lowered his head and saw something, then bent down, seemed to hold something in his hand, and then walked towards the Jiuqu Mingzhu.

At this time, the envoys from other countries worked hard for a long time, and the soft silk satin was not under force. Not to mention the nine songs, they could not pass through a single song.

Everyone was covered in dust.

Lu Dongzan asked, "Don't you answer anymore?"

Those who were in the mission expressed their gratitude, but they held that their country had a long history and looked at Lu Dongzan with contempt, not believing that the Tubo barbarians could answer this question.

Lu Dongzan asked the eunuchs who were serving on the side for a bottle of honey, pulled off a silk thread from his clothes, spread his hands, and exposed a black ant. Then, he carefully tied one end of the silk thread to the ant's waist and the other end to silk satin.

He smeared honey on the end of the Nine-Curve hole and placed the ant on the other side. The ant smelled the scent of honey and drilled into the hole. The ant was not strong enough, and it was a little difficult to drag the silk satin. Lu Dongzan blew gently to help the ant with his arm.

With the help of the power of Lu Dongzan's blowing, the ant slowly crawled out from the other side along the curved hole, and the silk satin passed through the nine-curved pearls with the silk thread.

"Wow, it's so amazing." Lu Dongzan's intelligence surprised everyone.

Li Shimin was also a little stunned.

Li Tai was stunned. At the beginning, when his literati asked this question, he couldn't answer it.

"Okay, okay." There was a burst of praise at the scene.

Next, Xiao Qian announced the second test question.

A group of guards carried a hundred logs, which were as thick as the ends of which were neatly arranged on the grass.

This question requires those participating in the test to distinguish the roots of the log and the slightly different ones.

Everyone was talking and was stumped by this question. The envoys from other countries still couldn't answer this question.

It was Lu Dongzan again, but he was still not in a hurry. Seeing that there was no test, he asked, "Can I start?"

Xiao Qian said he could start the test.

Lu Dongzan asked the guards to throw all the logs into the water. The two ends of the logs are of different weight, and they float in the water one by one.

He said: "The roots of logs grow for a long time, have fine lines and a lot of weight. Therefore, the sinking end is the root and the floating end is the treetops."

"So that's it." Everyone was amazed.

Li Shimin was really convinced and thought to himself: "This Lu Dongzan is indeed smart."
