Li Shi Min and Zhangsun Wu Ji were brought to a training field behind the Divine Dragon Palace.
"Wait here for now."
The young eunuch who had led them in gave a few instructions and left.
On the empty training field.
Only Li Shiming and Zhangsun Wuji were left.
The two of them looked at each other and nodded.
At this time, Li Shiming and Zhangsun Wuji had only met once.
Why would His Majesty summon them in such a place?
The two of them were a little nervous.
However, seeing that someone was keeping him company, he felt a little comforted.
This was the inner courtyard of the palace.
Who knew how many eyes were watching them in the dark.
The two of them did not dare to talk.
He could only stand obediently in the training ground.
An hour passed.
It was almost noon.
There were no clouds in the sky, and the sun hung high in the sky.
The sun wasn't too hot at this time, so the two of them could still persevere.
In a palace that the two of them could not see.
Yang Guang was staring at them condescendingly.
From this angle, he could even see their subtle movements.
Because of an order from him.
The Tang Emperor Li Shimin and the Prime Minister Zhangsun Wuji would have to wait under the sun.
He did not dare to move.
This feeling was really wonderful.
It made Yang Guang feel surreal.
"It's almost time."
Yang Guang stood up, and the people around him immediately moved.
More than two hundred tall and mighty imperial guards quickly stepped onto the training field and lined up on the left and right.
The eunuchs and maids covered the canopies.
He carried a strange chair and placed it on the training ground.
The bed of the Sui Dynasty was too hard.
This was the first-class air seat that Yang Guang had specially bought.
It was hundreds of times more comfortable than a bed.
Originally, Yang Guang did not care about this.
However, when he thought about it, he was already an emperor. Why should he suffer?
Buy!
He sat on the spacious first-class sofa with a palace maid holding an umbrella behind him.
Compared to Li Shiming and Zhangsun Wuji who were standing, it was very comfortable.
Seeing that the Emperor had arrived, Li Shiming and Changkong Wuji knelt down at the same time.
"Li Shi Min greets Your Majesty."
"Zhangsun Wuji greets Your Majesty."
Yang Guang smiled." Get up. The sons of the Duke of Tang and General Zhangsun are indeed handsome."”
Li Shi Min and Fearless heaved a sigh of relief.
Judging from the Emperor's tone, it didn't seem like he was going to condemn her.
However, he still felt a little nervous when he sensed the fully armed imperial guards standing around him.
He was afraid that he would be dragged down and cut down in the next second.
"I called you here today for two purposes.”
"First, I want to see the two of you.”
"Second, I have two questions to test you. Let's see if you're worthy of your name.”
"If you can't answer it, there's no punishment. If you answer it correctly, there's a reward!”
Li Shi Min and Zhangsun Wu Ji's hearts moved at the same time.
It turned out that His Majesty had let them enter the palace to test them.
This was a rare opportunity to show his face.
If he answered well, he would be able to leave a good impression in His Majesty's heart.
The two of them secretly looked at each other, with the intention of competing.
After all, there was no first in literature and no second in martial arts.
Since His Majesty wanted to take the exam, there must be a winner between the two of them.
Whether it was Li Shiming or Zhangsun Wuji, they were both confident in their knowledge.
The two of them bowed at the same time." Your Majesty, please give me a question. I'll do my best."”
Yang Guang picked up Sun Tzu's Computational Canon.
"Today, I'm reading the 'Sun's Arithmetic Classic'. There's a topic called' Swinging a Cup on the River'. Zhen will read it out to you.
Now there is a woman on the river waving a cup, ferry officials asked: Why are there so many cups?
The woman said,"I have a guest at home."
The ferry official said: How many guests?
The woman said,"Two people eat together, three people eat together, and four people eat together. There are sixty-five cups in total. I don't know how many guests there are."”
This question was obviously an arithmetic question, even though it was written in semi-classical Chinese.
However, Li Shimin and Zhangsun Wuji were well-read and could easily understand.
After listening to the questions, Li Shimin and Zhangsun Wuji heaved a sigh of relief.
They didn't expect that His Majesty would give them a math question.
It wasn't difficult to solve this problem, but there was a competitor next to him…
Not only did he have to solve it, but he also had to be fast and accurate!
The two of them closed their eyes and quickly calculated in their hearts.
Li Shi Min quickly deduced the answer.
To be safe, Li Shiming calculated again.
Yes, that was the answer.
Just as he was about to speak.
Suddenly, she heard Zhangsun Wuji's voice,""Your Majesty, the answer is 60. That peasant woman has to entertain 60 guests!”
Li Shiming's heart sank. Zhangsun Wuji's answer was actually the same as his.
The key was that he had beat him to it.
Yang Guang laughed and looked at Zhangsun Wuji meaningfully.
As expected of the Prime Minister of the Great Tang, the head of the twenty-four meritorious officials.
His brain reacted quickly!
Yang Guang clapped his hands and smiled." That's right. The answer is correct. Zhangsun Wuji wins this round."”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhangsun Wuji was delighted.”
Then, he nodded to Li Shi Min,""Thank you."
Li Shi Min also nodded and replied,"Congratulations."
Yang Guang had been paying attention to Li Shiming's expression.
Although Li Shimin was only 16 years old, he was mature and steady. He really did not look like such a big child.
When Zhangsun Wuji answered first, Li Shiming's face flashed with a trace of annoyance.
However, that was all. At this moment, he had already regained his calm.
Yang Guang smiled.”
"This question is my own question.”
"I received a secret report a few days ago that four border generals were plotting a rebellion.
I have already captured all four of them.
After interrogation, the four of them had confessed, but they did not find the mastermind.
Their confessions are all here. If you listen to any of their confessions that are suspicious, then he is the mastermind.
A: I am not the mastermind
B: A is right.
C: Ding is lying.
D: I don't want to rebel.
Who is the mastermind?"
Yang Guang and Zhangsun Wuji frowned deeply when they heard this.
What kind of question was this?
Could it be that His Majesty wanted to test their ability to reason and solve cases?
However, they had no time to delve deeper. They had to give an answer as soon as possible.
According to Yang Guang, the two of them quickly deduced.
This time, Li Shi Min didn't hesitate.
He only pondered for a moment and immediately said resolutely,"Your Majesty, the mastermind is Ding."
Yang Guang stared at him with a faint smile.”
Li Shi Min said confidently," Judging from the information above, the mastermind is Ding. Your Majesty, you can send someone to interrogate him. There will be some gains."”
"There's no need for that," said Yang Guang indifferently."Bring him up!”
"Bring him up!"
Following the order, heavy footsteps came from behind.
Li Shiming and Zhangsun Wuji turned around in confusion.
However, he saw the strong imperial guards escorting four men who were tied up on the stage.
These four men had disheveled hair and were dressed in prison uniforms.
With the walnut sealed in his mouth, he could not say a word.
However, there was a look of fear in his eyes.
"Kneel down!"
The imperial guard kicked their legs hard.
The four prisoners fell to their knees.
Li Shiming and Zhangsun Wuji were shocked. What was going on?
Li Shi Min was the first to react.
These four prisoners were A, B, C, and D!
His Majesty's question was actually real.
"It has been verified that these four people rebelled and were sentenced to death!”
"It's noon, cut!"
Crack!
The blade flashed and four heads fell to the ground.
Fresh blood spurted out from his neck and splattered onto Zhangsun Wuji and Li Shiming.
Zhangsun Wuji and Li Shiming were dumbfounded when they saw the heads rolling on the ground.
Yang Guang said," In my opinion, rebellion is rebellion. There is no mastermind or mastermind. All of them should be killed. Their entire family should be executed."”
"Do you two remember clearly?”
