Chapter 206 Palace Exam

When Sima Yao saw Xie Daner face-to-one challenge against Hengsheng, Long Yan was very happy and said with a smile: "It's so good. Prince Heng is the son of Prince Xima, and the grandson of General Heng Wen of the Assistant State. He has a lot of knowledge. If you can compare with Prince Heng, I will be quite pleased!"

Damn, I was so embarrassed to mention his grandfather Heng Wen. Dan'er smiled coldly, thinking that Huan Wen was the son-in-law of Emperor Ming of Jin. In his early years, he became famous because he went up the river and became the Han regime. He sent troops to the north to attack the Former Qin three times. The Qiang tribe Yao Xiang and Former Yan had made great achievements and were proud of their achievements. He took charge of the government for more than ten years, manipulated the royal family to decree the establishment, and forced the court to add nine tins in his later years. However, because Xie An and others delayed it on the ground, they were not realized until their death. He was still rebellious and wanted to seize the throne. Later, due to the failure of the third Northern Expedition, he damaged his reputation and was controlled by Xie An's power and failed to do so. The Sima family really healed the scar and forgot the pain, and shouted the general of the auxiliary country.

"Please ask the emperor to give a question. If the son is not talented, I would like to listen to the teachings of the emperor!" Hengxuan was worried about his son. No one knows his son as good as his father. He is a playboy son. He is still clear in his heart. Apart from lingering in the streets and alleys, he can be said to have accomplished nothing. Today, he is going to be in the pre-saint assessment. How can he not be anxious? But now that things have come to this, he can only cheer him up.

The emperor smiled and took a sip of the wine brought out by the eunuch from the palace and said, "You two have heard carefully. How many people are racing? Someone has chased the second place. Who is he now?"

When Dan'er heard this, she burst into laughter, right? This dignified Emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty actually came up with such a nonsensical brain teaser question? I think brain teaser had already taken shape in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

But Hengsheng didn't even think about it, and half of the people who asked for credit and rewards shouted: "I know, after chasing the second place, he will naturally be the first place!"

Wei Teng stomped his feet after hearing this. You were fucking stupid. You could do such easy questions, but you would have to answer wrong answers. Unfortunately, you couldn't remind him, so you had to worry.

"Sheng'er is a good person, and you will win the flag!" Although Hengsheng's prince washes his horse, he may be fine if he has a word for Wenjue. He may have never done this brain teaser before. His IQ is similar to his son. After hearing his son's answer, he applauded.

Dan'er shook her head and said, "Prince Xima, pay attention to your image. Your son's answer was wrong!"

Hengsheng was immediately angry and scolded him, "Xie Dan'er, what if he had chased the second place but not the first place?"

The emperor gave Hengxuan and his son a blank look. It seemed that the prince should change his horse. Mo taught the prince to ruin the prince and shook his head and said, "Xie Dan'er, I want to hear your answer."

"Back to the emperor, that man surpassed the second place, and there was naturally a first place ahead of him, so that man is only second place now."

"Okay, I know I've read you wrong!" The emperor said happily.

After hearing Dan'er's explanation, Hengxuan and his son immediately lowered their heads. It is true that they can't blame others for doing such a simple question.

"I'll ask another question, please stop carefully." The emperor said again: "It's still a race. You've chased the last one. Which one are you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Hengsheng replied again: "I understand this time, I am the second-last place!"

"Oh..." Wei Teng sighed aside, feeling a little angry.

A sip of tea from the emperor's mouth almost spit out and asked, "Xie Dan'er, what do you think!"

"Back to the emperor, my answer is that I don't know." Dan'er whispered.

He didn't know about Hengxuan and Sima Daozi, so he was overjoyed, but he heard the emperor say, "Well, it's not bad, let me explain to you why I don't know!"

Dan'er glanced at Hengxuan and his son who were pride and smiled: "Your Majesty, the answer to this question cannot be confirmed. If it is a running lap, anyone in front of the last one may surpass him, so it is impossible to determine which one is. If it is a running straight line, how can he surpass the last one? There should be no one behind the last one, unless he himself is the last one and he himself is the last one, how can he surpass himself?"

The emperor immediately patted the dragon throne: "Okay, Xie Dan'er really has clear and quick thinking, and is a talent that I urgently need in the Jin Dynasty!"

"Young Master Heng, I think you can't compare to Xie Dan'er today. Why don't you try it if you change someone else!?" Xie An was happy to see Dan'er win two games and sarcastically said to Hengsheng.

Hengsheng was naturally dissatisfied and lost to him in the past when he competed with him in front of Su Xiaoxiao. Today, he had the upper hand in the imperial examination. How can he survive in Juxian Pavilion in the future? He shouted: "Your Majesty, I am not convinced. Please give another question and win and lose!"

The emperor smiled and said, "Okay, then I will give you another question. You have to think about it before answering. Speaking of which, a mute wanted to buy chopsticks, he stretched out his fingers to imitate the action of eating, successfully expressed his meaning to the owner, and completed the purchase. Now if a blind man wants to buy a comb, how should he express himself so that the owner can know what he is going to buy?"

This time Hengsheng learned his lesson and did not answer so quickly. Instead, he thought about it carefully before responding: "Your Majesty, this gentle minister will never be wrong again. He can let the owner know just by combing his hair!"

Damn! You are so stupid that I really look down on you! Wei Teng can't hold it in. He couldn't answer any of these simple questions. He was wasting his chance. He was so anxious that he raised his head and sighed.

Hengsheng was waiting for the emperor to praise him, but heard Dan'er say disdainfully: "Your Majesty, Cao Min thinks that blind man just said that I just want to buy a comb, but he is not dumb, why do you have to do it!"

"Hahahaha... Master Heng, it seems that your IQ is not up to standard!" Gou Tu laughed, making Hengxuan and his son feel ashamed. Hengxuan pulled him down and scolded, "Zhu Zi, you want to study hard on weekdays, you want to visit brothels. Now, I'll be embarrassed for me!"

But the emperor was extremely happy and raised a glass of wine and said, "Xie Dan'er, you really made me look at me with admiration. Come on, come and have a glass of wine with me!"

This time, the audience was shocked. Sima Yao never rewarded the ministers when drinking. Even Xie An, Sima Daozi and others did not receive the wine in the court. Xie Daner set another precedent!

Dan'er was naturally delighted, walked forward, took the wine glass and drank it all in one go.

"Thank you the emperor for the reward!"

The emperor smiled and said, "Thank you, don't be polite. My three problems can stump you. It's really a rare talent!"

At this moment, a voice came from below: "Your Majesty, the people are not convinced, and I am willing to fight Xie Dan'er with one another!"
